I don't agree with the ruling, but I wonder how many people out there are living the good life because of dodgy funds they laundered through Tornado Cash. Flying in private jets, driving lambos, drinking the finest whisky. While many of those that do honest work like teaching the next generation live in poverty.

Keep in mind that the crime occured earlier - when they got the dodgy funds somehow. If tornado cash didn't exist, they would just launder the money some other way (like people did for thousands of years before - and there's plenty of ways to launder money using cryptocurrencies).
Those suckers doing honest work (whatever that means) should have used Tornado Cash to protect their earning from the tax man.
So... doing honest work, then dishonestly avoiding taxes?
I think they're being sarcastic.
