> WHEREFORE, I respectfully request that a warrant be issued for the arrest of MICHELE SPAGNUOLO, a/k/a “AlphaRaccoon,” the defendant, and that he be arrested, and imprisoned or bailed, as the case may be.
On the other hand, the press release says he "was presented today before U.S. Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn in the Southern District of New York." The meaning of "presented" isn't clear from the context. They didn't use the word "appeared" which would suggest he was physically present.

most crypto assets are very transparent in sender, receiver, amount transferred, connecting to a node also leaks your IP
using particular crypto assets and tools, you can restore your privacy to the same level that banks give, without having a bank as a weak link
I don't think that's a tutorial that has anything to do with a government, its what everyone is already accustomed to so that their neighbors and employers and colleagues and dates don't know everything about how they transact. by having that same level of privacy without a financial institution involved either, it happens to remove a briefly enjoyed privilege the government has gotten used to for the past 50 years. my historically accurate perspective is that its merely a reversion to the mean. except this time you can invest and trade with confidence as well. growing balances, funding anything you want, without needing regulatory assurances that the constructs that custody your assets will do what you expect them to.
