If prosecutors can send non-custodial Bitcoin wallet developers to prison as unlicensed money transmitters, then they can definitely do the same to Bitcoin miners. ✍️ sign & share the petition to #pardonsamourai & get this issue in front of Donald Trump to put an end to this madness: Listen to the full Bitcoin Veterans interview here:

There are no privacy guarantees with Bitcoin, that's a problem for p2p electronic cash. Samourai Wallet's CoinJoin implementation made it possible for Bitcoin users to have similar anonymity as cash users. And for that, the devs were sentenced to 4 & 5 years in prison.

This is not soliciting to criminals. Even if it was, the supreme court has ruled that is not a crime. image

Samourai Wallet's conspiracy was that they knew criminals could use their software, not that they knew of any specific illicit use. Think about the implications of such a legal theory, such broad language implicates every software developer, miner, & node operator.

What do guns, Toyotas, & Excel spreadsheets have in common? The executives don't go to prison when crimes are committed with any of those tools. This Bitcoin wallet is a different story. Meet the developer sentenced to 5-years in prison + $250k fine for his code.

Many questioned why Samourai Wallet took the plea deal? When facing 25-years in prison + $237m forfeiture order + being barred from talking about his own intent in front of a jury + a judge who refused to hear the defense arguments = plea deal was the clear path forward.

Both hands tied behind their backs in the fight for their lives. Motion after motion was denied without explanation, industry experts blocked from submitting helpful information, & evidence suppressed in the rigged SDNY courtroom.
