This is crypto, almost all users are always going to be speculators even with monero.

Pretty much all countries still have presumption of innocence and a legal system



Except as privacy coins are delisted from exchanges more and more.

The ownership of the monero itself may be granted the presumption of innocence however if you have a bunch of El Chapo Bux they'll just start digging for other things.


Delistings are irrelevant and ineffective. Monero usage wouldnt be legally enough to start an investigation, by far most users really are just speculators


haha, of course it's enough to start an investigation. The police don't need probable cause to start an investigation. They need probable cause to obtain a warrant. Quite different. Remember, basically everything's a crime. The set of crimes in the US is actually uncountable (a few have tried). All you need to get convicted of something is to attract attention. I guarantee you've committed a handful of felonies today. [1]
