Little did we know that the initial issues we had would lead to a full on storm as the December demand came in to us that demanded the company behind Wasabi Wallet to perform AML and KYC checks on our users, but that was impossible to perform in any capacity. The first cracks started to show.



As the smaller thunderstorm settled did little we know we would be forced months later to perform AML checks on users by implementing a blacklisting for their coordinator in order to prevent dangerous elements towards the employees or the company to affect its operation.



I was extremely devastated over the blacklisting events but I didn't feel like giving up as how someone from the company just working one day at us have quit facing the first challenge around the corner. I had to deal with 4 months of urticaria from the stress during those time.



At this time, the company had a full turn around with Max Hillebrand becoming the CEO of the company, and a new tide of changes started coming around. We had a successful release of Wasabi Wallet 2.0 and a new era of blockspace efficient coinjoins started.
