Short, concise and precise, pretty much gold standard for a title… everyone accusing of clickbait, what?

• yes, he is going to prison for building a privacy tool, I’m sorry that you have read actual clickbait titles before, but he was not charged with money laundering, he wasn’t even charged of being involved with any money laundering scheme, the sole reason he was arrested was for building a tool that can be used for illegal activity. Let’s hope they don’t go after the Tor Project and Tails OS with such claims too.
• yes, OP could have made a short description in the post like saying who, what tool, what charge, etc.

What clickbait title did you read to believe he took part in any money laundering? He isn’t even being accused of that.

The phrasing of this title implies that the creation of a privacy tool is what the creator got arrested for

That’s LITERALLY what happened.

No, he wasn’t accused of using it for money laundering at all, he was actually accused of “conspiracy” to money laundering, claiming that his tool facilitates it, HOWEVER, the prosecution itself knew their charges had absolutely no legal basis and kept it a secret, and when the defense made a motion to dismiss it was denied by the judge without even being heard and the judge gave no reason for it (I guess being on record that the trial is a farce wouldn’t look good). In front of an openly hostile judge and a trial that has no intention of following laws, legal costs in the millions piling up, he made a deal for 5 years in prison instead of the 25 they were going to give him.

Again, he wasn’t even charged with money laundering, he was arrested for creating a tool that can be used for that. The title is telling the truth - therefore, it’s not malicious.

I agree that OP could have post a summary with the video, but clickbait would be “He built a privacy tool, and you won’t believe what happened next” or something that doesn’t inform of the content of the video. Here it’s pretty clear, he built a privacy tool and was arrested for it, all the info is contained in the title.
