i agree completely with the @_SEAL_Org folks on this one which is really saying something. @accountable_us appears to be using random guilt-by-association claims here that make little sense as science its worthless. as political campaign, yeah, idk. the details are....

the dprk bit is handled by in the quoted thread and elsewhere. its just wrong. the iran bit asserts a token buyer also used an iranian exchange. this is, um, completely fine for non-americans. like..maybe you can have a discussion about wlfi selling to non-americans but come on.

its also true some people that hold shares in us companies hold views at odds with american foreign policy or even maybe more extreme. thats just guilt by association to blame the company.

same with the "a tornado cash user bought tokens." like...there were never any restrictions on foreigners and i personally have had bank accounts at banks with, um , issues. unless you can show its actually a "bad guy" this means nothing. just basically-false headline claims.

for the record: guilt by association works in politics. and maybe they'll get what they want out of this. politics is certainly not about being rigorous. it's not even about having anything to do with being correct. its about winning. the sin is failure not error. that's life.
