> The crypto mixer, on the other hand, has no real use case except money laundering

Is that true though? What if I am in a country which disapproves of $activity that is legal in most of the world but not in my country. I might simply want anonymity in my Bitcoin transactions.

So your argument is "What if I'm not money laundering, but simply breaking the law in some other way?"

Yeah, they probably should've stopped mid sentence where you can argue "I just want to watch pornography".

It's a bit weird how much scrutiny there is over obscuring the transaction history for cyrpto. Like you money launder via houses you get a slap on the wrist first [1] but if you aren't actually directly involved in the transactions you get 5 years. The guy's not running a server; he published a contract that other people's computers are paid (by also other people) to run. Afaik, there wasn't even an allegation that he profited per transaction.
