Didn’t they throw away the keys to the smart contract a long time ago?

If they did that probably doesn't matter.

"I built a bomb I can't disarm" is not a credible defense.

It'll be especially nasty if they profited from the service after throwing away the keys and "learning" of the money laundering going on there.

Walking away a year or two ago would argueably have helped them.
