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
