I can still access https://docs.samourai.io/
Privacy app developers should remain anonymous.

But we also have to note that they were the ones who put themselves in the sights of the authorities:

I think this was a stupid move, especially since domain and servers were in Iceland, which gave governments a compelling reason to look behind them.

I wonder if they had cooperated with Chainalysis or any blockchain analysis service, would the same charges have been brought against them? Or is the definition of privacy limited to those who appear to government agencies?

Looking through some of the samourai devs other posts & comments around the net they really seemed to going past 'anonymize your coins' and pushing the 'if you have funds from places you should not have funds from use our services'

It's a blow to privacy but, and I think this is universal to governments and police forces around the world, if you keep poking them, they are going to come after you.

Would this have happened no matter what? Probably.
Are they going to have more legal trouble because of how they went about it? Definitely.

Just my view.
