He calls all LR users criminals (200.000 in the USA alone), he claims LR was made purely for criminal purpouses, he claims ALL the transactions were criminal

Criminality comes in many forms. I do believe that most LR transactions were related to criminal activity of one form or another.
If you look at the sheer number of illegal enterprises making use of LR you would see that a small proportion of its use was legitimate.
There are many thousands of illegal sites that used LR over the past few years. Some of the most pervasive were HYIP scams. Just spend some time looking at various dubious money making forums and you would be amazed at the sheer number of sites running such scams.
The there is forex Ponzi schemes, payments to file locker Uploaders, child porn websites, darknet sites offering card dumps, drugs, guns and so forth.
Out of the cited 55 million transactions it is likely that only a few million were legitimate honest uses of LR.
