Samourai devs are evil people. We have to #FreeSamourai anyway.
This video is fantastic at explaining why.

Samourai pleaded guilty.
What evidence exits of the charge they pleaded guilty to?
What evidence exists of any other charges that were dropped as a condition of their guilty pleas?
The bottom line is, as a result of their guilty pleas, the prosecution never had to present thir case in court, so the public may never necessarily know the answers to these questions. Instead, we have the obviously self-serving narrative provided by Samourai.
As such, I think we need to be careful about insiting "We have to free them". I mean, it's okay to want them to be free. But, we probably shouldn't be spreading the speculation that the feds will be coming after all privacy software develpers based on an incomplete understanding of what evidence the feds might have had to convince Samourai to plead guilty.
