    >Unlicensed Money Transmitting Offenses

    The gang in charge will NOT permit any challenges to its money monopoly.

    As their website is now down, I was curious about what might've been there before:

    > Ricochet - A premium tool that adds extra hops of history to your transaction. Stump the blacklists and help guard against unjust 3rd party account closures.

    > About Samourai - We are privacy activists who have dedicated our lives to creating the software that Silicon Valley will never build, the regulators will never allow, and the VC's will never invest in. We build the software that Bitcoin deserves.

    I notice they don't say anything about justified 3rd party account closures, which probably relates to the DoJ's case.
