How is that clickbait, that's exactly what happened?

The title could have given more context. I’m not saying there is anything false or misleading, but as written the title is clickbait since you have to click through to get the key facts such as “Privacy app author convicted of facilitating money laundering for Samouri Wallet”

That's just an excuse, no different from "encryption enables pedophilia" or "hands enable domestic violence". Any tool can be used for illegal activity

Totally agree. And a short summary would go a long way towards making up for the clickbait title
