Samourai Wallet developer's first trial, US Department of Justice will provide a lot of evidence

Samourai Wallet developer's first trial, US Department of Justice will provide a lot of evidence

The Southern District Court of New York held the first hearing of the US Department of Justice (DoJ) against Samourai Wallet developers Keonne Rodriguez and William Lonergan Hill on May 28th. Rodriguez and Hill were charged with money laundering and operating an unlicensed remittance business. Although Hill is still in Portugal and has not responded to the extradition request, Rodriguez and his lawyer Michael Krouse attended the hearing.

The prosecutor stated that they are ready to present a large amount of evidence and are waiting for Rodriguez to hand over the 2TB hard drive he holds. Rodriguez's lawyer plans to cite a letter from Senators Cynthia Lummis and Ron Wyden to the Attorney General, requesting the dismissal of the charges against their client. The letter states that non-custodial cryptocurrency software should not be considered a remittance service.

The judge announced that Rodriguez will continue to be under house arrest and the next hearing is scheduled for September 4th, 2024. The legal defense fund for Samourai developers is currently being raised.
