Judge Cote was chomping at the bit to throw Keonne Rodriguez behind bars for 25-years. During the sentencing hearing she was visibly upset that she could "only" sentence him with a maximum of 5-years in prison plus a $250k fine. For writing code. US Attorney SDNY you are sickos.

🇺🇸 TRUMP: I’M OPEN TO PARDONING THE SAMOURAI BITCOIN CEO Trump is signaling another major pro Bitcoin move, this time over the fate of Samourai Wallet CEO Keonne Rodriguez. The DOJ says his privacy software helped launder millions. Bitcoiners say it’s a test of whether code itself can be criminalized. The question has become a lightning rod between regulators and crypto advocates who say privacy isn’t a crime: “I’ve heard about it, I’ll look at it. Let’s take a look at it.” Source: Bitcoin Magazine

PARDON SAMOURAI (full episode) Keonne Rodriguez w/Walker⚡️ Today I talk with Keonne Rodriguez, co-founder of Samourai Wallet, who is set to report to prison on December 19 unless he and his co-founder Bill get a pardon from President Trump... In April 2024, two Bitcoin software developers, Keonne Rodriguez and William "Bill" Lonergan Hill, were violently arrested in their homes in a pre-dawn militarized raid by the FBI for running Samourai Wallet—a non-custodial Bitcoin wallet—despite no prior warnings and full compliance with the law as they and their advisors understood it. They spent the next year and a half in the crippling uncertainty of home arrest, fighting against an adversary with unlimited resources. Keonne was sentenced on November 6, 2025, to the maximum five years in prison, plus an additional fine of $250,000, plus three years of supervised release. Bill was sentenced to four years in prison on November 19, 2025. He will also be responsible for a $250,000 fine, and three years of supervised release. Both men are facing serious time in jail for writing code that supported the privacy and security of Bitcoin users. This case exemplifies DOJ overreach through a dangerous legal theory that criminalizes open-source code for legitimate privacy purposes. **Developers should not be held liable for bad actors using their software.** 0:00 INTRO 2:00 Context of the Case 5:12 The Motivation Behind Samurai Wallet 7:54 The Evolution of Bitcoin and Privacy Concerns 10:59 The Raid and Its Implications 13:59 Understanding the Legal Framework 16:47 The Distinction Between Samurai Wallet and Traditional Mixers 20:02 Regulatory Guidance and Miscommunication 22:48 The Role of the Justice System 25:54 Jurisdiction and the Southern District of New York 32:56 Jurisdiction and Prosecution Tactics 36:41 The Reality of Legal Battles 39:55 Financial Strain and Legal Fees 44:31 Plea Deal Dynamics 52:59 The Absurdity of Charges 1:02:05 The Broader Implications of the Case 1:04:18 The Blanch Memo and Its Implications 1:07:53 The Southern District of New York’s Disregard for Guidelines 1:12:21 The Flawed Prosecution and Lack of Evidence 1:16:55 The Importance of Open Source and Community Action 1:22:40 Hope for the Future and the Call to Action #pardonsamourai #freesamourai

American entrepreneur Keonne Rodriguez built a successful Bitcoin wallet app called Samourai Wallet. He’s now being sent to prison for it. In a few weeks, Keonne will begin his 5-year sentence behind bars, unless the Bitcoin community can save him by pressuring the US Administration to offer a pardon. When I heard about this story, it sounded like fake news, so I went straight to the source. In this exclusive interview, Keonne Rodriguez is descriptive, logical, and vulnerable. His story is heartbreaking and terrifying. By the end, it's evident he's sitting directly in the crossfire between freedom tech and surveillance states. This is a critical moment in history—a moment for the Bitcoin community to stand up. Just as Ross Ulbricht was pardoned, Keonne Rodriguez must be forgiven, too. We cannot allow one of our own fellow Bitcoiners to spend time in jail for building a legitimate product that protects our Bitcoin and strengthens the network. We must unify to ensure Keonne Rodriguez is freed. Alone, he doesn’t stand a chance. But with support from faithful Bitcoiners, we can bring awareness to his cause. Knowledge is power. Watch the interview and vocalize your support for Keonne Rodriguez in the comments. Show Summary: In this gripping conversation, Keonne shares his harrowing experience of building Samourai Wallet, a non-custodial Bitcoin wallet focused on user privacy, and the subsequent FBI raid that led to his arrest. He discusses the legal challenges he faced, including conspiracy charges and the pressure to plead guilty, despite his innocence. The conversation highlights the broader implications of privacy in the cryptocurrency space and the political motivations behind his prosecution. Keonne’s story serves as a cautionary tale about the intersection of technology, law, and personal freedom. It is a moment in Bitcoin’s history that could define how we protect our freedom in the digital age. Key Takeaways: - Samourai Wallet prioritizes user privacy and control over funds. - The FBI raid was a shocking and aggressive response to a tech startup. - Keonne faced serious charges without any prior criminal history. - The legal system pressured him into a plea deal despite his innocence. - Public statements on social media were used against him in court. - The indictment was based on misinterpretations of his actions and intent. - Keonne’s case highlights the challenges of privacy in the cryptocurrency space. - The financial burden of legal fees was overwhelming for Keonne and his family. - Home confinement significantly impacted Keonne’s quality of life. - The case raises important questions about free speech and innovation in technology. Chapters: 00:00 Introduction to Free Speech and Innovation 02:41 Building Samurai Wallet: A Focus on Privacy 05:13 The FBI Raid: A Shocking Turn of Events 08:05 The Arrest: Confusion and Fear 10:45 Understanding the Charges: Conspiracy and Tweets 13:24 The Legal Battle: Navigating the System 16:04 The Impact of Social Media on Legal Proceedings 18:59 The Bail Conditions: A Million Dollar Bond 21:44 Life Under Home Confinement 24:33 The Ongoing Fight for Justice 29:03 The Burden of Legal Costs 31:11 Impacts of Home Confinement 33:31 The Decision to Take a Plea Deal 38:22 The Brady Violation and Its Implications 43:05 Sentencing and Aftermath 56:51 Community Support and Call to Action This story is brought to you by LAB Network.

2 years ago this man, Ryan Kelly, was sentenced to 60 days in prison for NOT ENTERING THE CAPITOL on Jan 6th. At the time he was the leading gubernatorial candidate in Michigan. The judge said that he 'misused his platform as a candidate for elected office'. The judge said that because of the size of his following that he has the responsibility to not 'spread lies and falsehoods' when he was questioning the stolen 2020 election. The left cried all weekend about NO KINGS. Imagine that.
