But why should the payment processors be in court? They are just a 'road for money'. Normal roads nor toll road operators aren't going to be charged with a felony if a criminal uses their roads, why should that be different for payments processors?

Reply to self: One reason is of course they get paid per transaction, so if a criminal transaction takes place on their service, they make money off criminal activity.
