Samurai wallet dev sentenced to 5 years
Is that better? Only if you already know what samurai wallet is.
Keonne Rodriguez pleads guilty to conspiracy to run an unlicensed money transmission business?
Only if you know who Keonne Rodriguez is and that conspiracy to run an unlicensed money transmission business carries a prison sentence of up to 5 years.
A privacy tool dev sentenced to 5 years for a conspiracy to run an unlicensed money transmission business?
Is this any better? I don’t think so. It still doesn’t tell you anything about the actual case. You can’t condense an hour long video into a single sentence beyond the basic premise, and trying to do so risks glossing over important details and misinforming the viewer. Also, it’s not the titles job to give you details about the story, just a basic overview of what the story is about.

…yeah? That’s absolutely much more informative
Samurai wallet dev sentenced to 5 years

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 can’t condense an hour long video into a single sentence beyond the basic premise
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. You’ve just provided several great examples yourself.
If you don’t know what samurai wallet is then that title would be less informative. Replacing samurai with crypto can only mislead 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).
"If you don’t know what samurai wallet is then that title would be less informative.
No."
What do you “no”? It absolutely would be. A samurai wallet could be a physical wallet for cash, some hidden blade device, a toy, a regular non privacy centric crypto wallet. For example lets pretend there is this crypto wallet you haven’t heard of. Would a title like “Developer of Ninja Pocket goes to prison” be more or less informative to you?
"Replacing samurai with crypto can only mislead the reader into thinking that the issue was the crypto and not the privacy part.
No. "
Again, what do you mean “no”? “Developer of crypto wallet imprisoned” tells you nothing about why he was jailed and completely misses the whole point of the story - that he was imprisoned due to the privacy features of the wallet.
"It also doesn’t tell you anything about why he’s being imprisoned
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”."
Like I said it’s implied. The title doesn’t need to tell you that it has something to do with a crypto wallet because that’s not the important part. The privacy preserving characteristics of it is what matters. His “crime” isn’t making a crypto wallet, it’s making it private.
At this point I think it’s pretty clear you’re just being disingenuous so I’ll bid you good day.

A “privacy tool” could be an infinite number of things. A “crypto wallet” is super specific.

IDK how you came to that conclusion but ok.
