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

🚨ICE agents illegally threatened to tase a PASSENGER for refusing to exit a vehicle… after lying about having a warrant for him, in Lennox, California. In the video, the agents repeatedly insisted they had a warrant for the passenger, demanded he get out of the car, and threatened to tase him if he didn’t comply. But, when the passenger continued to ask to see the warrant, the agents suddenly asked for his ID. After running his identification, they decided to change the story… Agents then started asking the driver for their ID, despite admitting they did not know who they were dealing with. When questioned, one agent first claimed they had a warrant for the passenger, then admitted they were “writing it right now,” before finally acknowledging, “I thought it was you.” So, to break this all down… ICE agents threatened to tase someone over a warrant they didn’t have, for a person they hadn’t even identified. The Fourth Amendment exists for a reason. Government agents do not get to detain whoever they want, threaten force, demand identification from everyone present, and just figure out who they are dealing with later. Because that’s illegal. If ICE had a valid warrant, they should have been able to identify the subject of that warrant before threatening someone with a taser. And if they didn’t know who they were talking to… then what exactly was the legal basis for the detention, the threats, and the demands for identification? This is why people are outraged. And every time this behavior is excused, it sends the message that ICE agents can ignore constitutional rights, threaten innocent people, and walk away like nothing happened.
