The government literally hosted a panel arguing that “code is speech” while still prosecuting Roman Storm, Roman Sterlingov, Keonne Rodriguez, and Bill Hill. You can’t celebrate open source in theory while criminalizing developers in practice.

When the cameras left, the cages stayed locked. Trump pardoned Ross Ulbricht. The government said the rest were coming. They never came. Seven people are still locked up for writing code and teaching people how to use digital cash. Let me be specific about who they are: Ian Freeman ran the Bitcoin embassy in Keene, New Hampshire. Eight years for teaching people to use digital cash. Roman Sterlingov got twelve and a half years on a black-box verdict in the Bitcoin Fog case. His lawyers still can't fully explain what the evidence was. Roman Storm wrote the Tornado Cash contract. He's looking at forty years. Retrial in the fall. Keonne Rodriguez built the Samourai wallet. They arrested him on Christmas Eve. William Lonergan Hill was sixty-seven when they caged him for writing privacy software. Four years. Lisbon to a cell. Ray Youssef banked the unbanked through Paxful. Deported. Schools in Africa bear his name. Seven people. Code. No victims you can name. America says it wants to lead in crypto. You cannot cage your builders and lead anything. Every one of these prosecutions is a message to every developer on earth: write privacy software and we will come for you. Code is free speech. The surveillance state is telling you it disagrees. Pardon them all!

Code is free speech in Las Vegas. In a federal courtroom in Manhattan, code is forty years in a cage. That is the whole story of Roman Storm, and I put it to music. He came to this country from Russia with $500 in his pocket. Odd jobs. Learned the language. Taught himself to write software. Built a company on nights he didn't sleep. The immigrant success story we are told this nation is made of. Then he wrote privacy code. Open source. He published it, the way you publish a book. He asked lawyers first. They told him it was legal, because it is legal. On August 23, 2023, around six in the morning, a SWAT team surrounded his home. Rifles up. His three-year-old daughter awake in the house while armed federal agents pointed weapons at her father's head. Not for stealing. Not for hacking. Not for touching a single dollar of anyone's money. He never held your funds. He could not hold them if he tried. The code has no operator. The address is zero. It runs on its own, on every node, in every country, right now, while its author stands trial. Here is the part they do not want you to sit with. They sanctioned his protocol. Then a federal court said they had no right to. Then Treasury quietly delisted it. The government reversed itself on the code, and then it kept prosecuting the man who wrote it. The FBI Director stood on a stage in Vegas and called code free speech. His own Justice Department wrote a memo saying stop prosecuting developers for what their users do. Then they walked past their own memo and came after Roman anyway. They convicted him on one count. The jury hung on the rest. A normal government takes the hint. This one is retrying him on October 26. Forty years for writing software you can still download today. This was never about Tornado Cash. It is about whether writing code can be a crime. In 1999, Bernstein v. DOJ said source code is protected speech. If that dies with Roman, no developer in America is safe. The chilling effect is not a side effect. It is the point. They pardoned others. They cut deals for others. Roman they kept on the docket, because he was effective, and because privacy is the one thing the surveillance state cannot allow. So I wrote him a song. The prosecution is theater. The code is permanent. Free Roman Storm. Watch it. Share it. The loop keeps running fine.

TONIGHT TRUMP THREATENS TO DESTROY A CIVILIZATION. IAN FREEMAN IS IN A CAGE FOR PREACHING BITCOIN NOT BOMBS. Ian Freeman spent twenty years behind a microphone calling for peace. He introduced me to the Free State Project. He is probably responsible for 10% of the people who moved to New Hampshire. He hosted the first radio show to ever cover Bitcoin. Before anyone. He preached that Bitcoin could undermine the warmonger state. That sound money could starve the war machine. Bitcoin, not bombs. He fed parking meters for strangers. They called him the Robin Hood of Keene. He built a church. Funded an orphanage in Uganda. Forbes called his town a crypto mecca. Biden's DOJ sent rifles and a tank to his door at 6am. They charged him with money laundering. The judge threw those charges out. Not enough evidence. They sentenced him to 96 months anyway. For laws written before Bitcoin existed. Tonight at 8pm, the President's deadline for Iran expires. He said "a whole civilization will die tonight." Bridges. Power plants. The lives of 90 million people. Ian Freeman preached for two decades that there was a better way. That you could fight for freedom without dropping a single bomb. That Bitcoin was the tool of peace, not the tool of criminals. They put him in a cage for it. Trump freed Ross Ulbricht. He said the war on crypto was over. It is not over. Keonne Rodriguez Keonne Rodriguez. Five years. Built a privacy wallet. In prison. William Hill @TDevD. Four years. Samourai Wallet CTO. In prison. Roman Storm Roman Storm 🇺🇸 🌪️. Tornado Cash founder. Awaiting retrial. Ray Youssef Ray Youssef. Paxful founder. Charged over $200. Roman Sterlingov Sterlingov. Twelve years. Bitcoin Fog. Roger Ver Roger Ver. Fifty million dollar fine and a gag order. Ian Freeman Ian Freeman. Eight years. First man to put Bitcoin on the radio. Mr. President. End the war in the Middle East. End the war on crypto. Free the prisoners. Mrs. ₿onnie Freeman says Ian teaches inmates how to read. She says Bitcoin is sacred to them. I wrote this song for Ian and every crypto prisoner of war. Sign the petition to free Ian Freeman 6AM IN KEENE Six in the morning, Leverett Street Rifles in the hall Tank through the front door For a radio host in Keene He fed the meters, saved the town Robin Hood of Keene Twenty years behind the microphone First voice to say the word Bitcoin Built a church in New Hampshire An orphanage in Uganda Forbes called his town a crypto mecca They called him a criminal They sent an undercover fed Who said he dealt in heroin Ian said no, turned him away The fed bought it anyway And called it evidence Free Ian Freeman Free Ian Freeman You can send your tanks at dawn But the signal doesn't stop The judge threw out the laundering Not enough evidence Ninety-six months anyway For laws written before Bitcoin existed Keonne Rodriguez Keonne Rodriguez, Christmas Eve William Hill @TDevD, four years Roman Storm Roman Storm 🇺🇸 🌪️, retrial in the fall Ray Youssef Raypaxful, two hundred dollars Roman Sterlingov Sterlingov, twelve years Roger Ver Roger Ver, fifty million and a gag order The war on crypto didn't end It just changed presidents Mr. President You set Ross free You said you'd end the war Ian's been inside since twenty-three Mrs. ₿onnie Freeman says he teaches inmates how to read She says Bitcoin is sacred to us You freed one Now free them all Free Ian Freeman Free the prisoners of war The radio host, the wallet builders The ones who wouldn't kneel You can cage a man But you cannot cage the signal What you do with your Bitcoin is your business What you do with your freedom is your business Six AM in Keene The signal can't be stopped (Free Ian Freeman) The signal can't be stopped (Free Ian Freeman)

WHY A ROMAN SOLDIER STILL DECIDES YOUR MILE A Roman soldier’s average step was 5.28 feet. After 1,000 steps, they’d place a marker. That’s 5,280 feet, exactly one mile today. The Latin for “thousand” is mille, and the term stuck. The empire is gone, but in the U.S., every mile on your speedometer is still measured by the march of a Roman foot soldier. Two thousand years later, you’re driving in ancient footsteps. Source: Johal Capital

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
