This is a false narrative made pretty clear by the indictment: https://www.justice.gov/media/1311391/dl?inline

If you start a company and take investment and rake in money without AML controls then you're going to have a bad time.

Don't want to be arrested? Pretty simple: Either live in Russia or don't start a company to make money off of money laundering. Or just build the open-source software without trying to make money off of it.
