That's not what was meant with 'crime adjacent'.



Heh, it's a literal meaning of crime adjacent (presuming that the person in the actual target apartment was actually guilty).

I suspect anyone that was an early adopter of crypto is somewhat considered crime adjacent because so much of the early usage was silk road.

For a while after MtGox was hacked I used BTC-e (yes, I lost money in MtGox). It was later discovered(alleged?) that the operators of BTC-e were involved in laundering money for the MtGox hack[0]. I guess my very presence in that case would be considered crime adjacent.
