This obviously was a fight the US wanted or they would have never arrested the Neteller founders. Of course they are going to defend themselves and yes they have the money to hire competant legal representation. Nothing shocking here. I doubt this caught the DOJ by surprise.

They knew who they were targeting, and they knew that they would be up against compentent defense attorneys. Well in advance, they decided they could achieve a particular objective.
