> "Known criminal addresses" isn't an easy nut to crack.

True. But good faith efforts go a long way. In no world is "separate my funds from those the operators of Tornado believe are illicit" good faith.

> When is the last time a bank enabling criminals like HSBC had it's directors arrested and thrown in jail?

Whaddaboutism is not a defense. I fully support jailing the entire executive staff of HSBC. The fact that has not happened does not change the facts or merits of this case, any more than I can get out of a speeding ticket by noting that I read about someone going much faster.

I'm quite certain Tornadocash didn't believe the addresses were illicit; they got the list from the government like everyone else does. If you have proof Tornadocash kept made their own list of criminals please share your source

I hope you don't think that distinction makes a difference. If you want, you can rephrase the statements to

In no world is "separate my funds from those the operators of Tornado have been informed by the government are illicit" good faith.

and

“keep my funds separate from the ones the government has said it's illegal to serve that this service knowingly serves anyway”
