Interesting, Trump administration pardoned Ross William Ulbricht who run drug dealing business specifically because it was done behind Tor using cryptocurrency. So this was a one off?
This sounds awful lot like Middle Eastern mafia stuff, where it's technically illegal to do some things but you can do a lot of things if you are aligned with the people in power.
I have no idea what this person was up to but this selective treatment(if true) smells very bad. IIRC behind the release of Ross there was some libertarian NGO or something, maybe contact them?
