What details are being withheld? His name, the tool’s name, the crime, the sentence? What title would be more informative?

…yeah?
Correct again. I mean it’s infinitely better than the current one where it doesn’t matter if you do know what Samourai is. Also replace Samourai with “crypto” and baby you got a stew goin’.
You don’t have to. You just try to make it as information dense as possible. That’s the entire point of a title. It’s not supposed to be just a bunch of random filler words.

If you don’t know what samurai wallet is then that title would be less informative. Replacing samurai with crypto can only misleading the reader into thinking that the issue was the crypto and not the privacy part. It also doesn’t tell you anything about why he’s being imprisoned, while with “He Built a Privacy Tool. Now He’s Going to Prison.” it’s implied why (because he built a privacy tool).

No.
No.
Neither does the current title. But at least then we know it’s something to do with a crypto wallet instead of a “privacy tool”.
A “privacy tool” could be an infinite number of things. A “crypto wallet” is super specific.
At this point I think it’s pretty clear you’re just being disingenuous so I’ll bid you good day.
