The gov't theory in my case isn't about me. It's a template.
Under US v. Storm, "money transmitting" no longer requires custody or control of funds. Publishing code that others use is enough.
Who's in danger:
→ Every maintainer of open-source privacy, messaging, or crypto tools that any bad actor ever touches
→ Every operator of a financial service — DeFi or not — who learns some % of users are illicit and keeps operating. Knowledge alone becomes the crime
→ Every dev of immutable, self-custodial software, held to a duty to "stop" what is technically unstoppable
It's already working as designed. Michael Lewellen finished lawful crowdfunding software and can't publish it. He asked DOJ if he'd be prosecuted. Their answer, in federal court: we "cannot disclaim an intent to prosecute."
Finished code, sitting on a shelf. You don't need to be charged to be silenced.
And SDNY isn't done with me. Prosecutors want to retry me regardless — regardless of the hung counts, regardless of Van Loon, regardless of FinCEN's own guidance.
I've been fighting this for 3+ years. Legal defense at this level costs millions, and I can't do it alone.
If you write code, use privacy tools, or believe publishing software isn't a crime — this is your fight too.

Every retweet helps. Every dollar goes to the defense.
@khalidoncrypto@DeFiTriggs@PulseChain@LibertySwapFi@zkxwallet For now we invented printable paper notes. Can carry in your pocket like cash. Zk proof fresh wallet no history preloaded with a little gas so recipient doesn’t need gas. Note is dead after single use. Recipient can re shield and print new note and the cycle continues
USDC Kill Switch — Key Facts
The mechanism is real Circle's smart contract has a built-in blacklist function that can freeze any address instantly. This isn't theoretical — it's been used before on sanctioned addresses….
@mert Hey @mert I feel like you would respect what we are building. Test is running on chain now with more EVM’s in the pipeline $PrivX The Privacy Exchange Token
Just used $PrivX to shield PLS and fund a fresh wallet on @zkxwallet
Was so simple and my only risk was losing the Note worth $0.56 of PLS
Privacy is Normal.
Pulsechain will become the privacy chain
Thanks @LibertySwapFi and @RichardHeartWin
We will continue to build
But it's not privacy from power, which is the original cypherpunk framing — "privacy is necessary for an open society," not "privacy is necessary except from those who ask nicely."
True privacy and "compliant privacy" are different products wearing similar marketing language. One hides your activity from everyone including the entity that built it ($PrivX — nobody can see, there's no backdoor to build). The other hides your activity from the public…
while preserving a channel for authorized visibility (Helius-style — likely viewing keys, screening, or association proofs).
Calling the second one "privacy" isn't wrong exactly — it's privacy from the crowd.
@jesusdotpls Just bridge in normally. Then use $PrivX to start a fresh wallet. Way less risk..costs nothing to shield 100,000 PLS denomination ($0.56) and begin your privacy journey on Pulsechain. Sorry you lost your funds…not cool
Can you afford $0.56 cents for your education on a Privacy Protocol?
Test with 100,000 PLS denomination pool.

Privacy is Normal.
Ownerless immutable code.
