One of the few times we are NOT on the same side. For now.
But everything flips in a second. As it stands, we are LONG DOLLAR / LONG OIL. Nuclear dust SHOULD be a real issue.
Only takes one change of mind to flip it all.
We DON'T make the rules.

I am writing from FPC Morgantown prison in West Virginia. It has been about 5 months since I first surrendered myself in December, and I will be honest, the prospect of a Presidential pardon is very low. There was some hope during the Bitcoin 2026 conference, but that has now come and gone, and one must come to terms with the fact that I am simply a federal prisoner without money, power, or influence, and I will serve my full sentence. It will be years before I can even attempt to rebuild my life. Which is why I am now writing this appeal to you all now. Things are dire and we need your help.
Lauren and I need your help desperately. More than ever before. We have over $2 Million of debt due to legal fees. We have a $250k fine the judge levied against us. Every day I get letters and calls from anxious lawyers looking to be paid. Or the DOJ demanding I start making payments on my fine. Perhaps it was denial or delusion, but I had hoped to do what I have always done and dig myself out of this hole myself - but with the reality of serving a full sentence that is not possible. I hate to ask for your help in this way but we are entirely out of options. We need to pay off these legal bills and other debts accrued attempting to defend myself. We desperately need your help. Now.
For 10 years Bill and I built and published open source code and tools for Bitcoin users. Those same tools and code are what the government says were criminal. The tools and code still exist, they are out there right now and always will be. The creators however are locked away in Federal prison. The creators are the ones whose lives have been decimated. The creators are the ones who have been financially wiped out. The creators are the ones who desperately need you now. Please donate whatever you can to bc1qtjjcvn98wh7dfd55m8kxhjcfexanttwt8gtan8 . We have to get this albatross from around our neck.
Samourai had well over 100,000 users. These users pushed over 2 billion dollars through our open source tools. We need those users and any bitcoiner who appreciates the work that we put into this industry for over a decade to help us now. Please donate whatever you can to bc1qtjjcvn98wh7dfd55m8kxhjcfexanttwt8gtan8 right now.
If you require a private address please DM my wife @leamuirleyn and she will provide one. Please do not delay. Time is of the essence. Please help us.

“Assuming Iran agrees to give what has been agreed to, which is, perhaps, a big assumption, the already legendary Epic Fury will be at an end... If they don’t agree, the bombing starts, and it will be, sadly, at a much higher level and intensity than it was before.” - President Donald J. Trump 🇺🇸
@TorEkelandPLLC Don't take this the wrong way as I know your heart is in the right place but hiring lawyers wouldn't be my priority if I was a Bitcoin developer.
It would be ensuring that my activities are not noticed by US Gov bureaucrats on yet another moral crusade.

It is not about feelings, it is about common sense.
Do you really think the U.S. can afford another superpower militarizing its backyard?
Greenland is an obvious strategic necessity.
A lot of Trump's moves on Europe are built around the fact that he wants to secure the Western hemisphere from Chinese influence as much as possible. Europeans would be wise to understand that and act accordingly.
The court in their prosecution and unreasonable scrutinized settlement against Samurai was with ill intent and evil behavior since the beginning.
Evil indeed.
Someone who truly understands Bitcoin.
A team responsible for the most sophisticated tools for Bitcoin; developing for a fundamental ethical law of humanity.
Yet Samourai devs face more scrutiny than actual criminals like CZ that got 4 months.
FOUR months, for the FUD.

Japan against a small corner of China, Japan's lack of strategic depth is totally exposed.
Do you know what I love about East Asia? Everything's so close.
