Don’t be short sited, a win DEFENDING themselves could lead to major holes in any further DOJ actions and past actions.
A precedence on internet regulations, online gambling, payment processors, international banking can all be made here.
Also not the most competent prosecutor the DOJ could have used appears to be on the side of the DEFENDING team.
I agree this is not a sure thing and it could go ll bad, but this is the best shot for a major knock to all of this.
