[Coincards.com - Buy Gift Cards with Bitcoin! @CoinCards]

We just sent this email to our entire customer base. But we are sharing here because it's too important not to try to get in front of as many people as possible.

THE STATE JUST DECLARED WAR ON CODERS…

Let’s get straight to the point:

The charges against Samourai founders @keonne and Bill are absolute bullshit.

Not “misguided,” not “misinformed,” not “concerning.”

Bullshit.

There was no fair path to trial for Bill and Keonne.

They took a plea because the judge made a fair trial impossible — dismissing their motions without real consideration, telegraphing hostility toward their defense, and making it abundantly clear that any attempt to fight the charges would be met with the harshest outcome the system could deliver.

When the referee rigs the match before the bell even rings, stepping into the ring isn’t bravery — it’s self-destruction.

This wasn’t justice.
This wasn’t due process.
This was the state using the courts as a pressure chamber to make an example out of them.

And let’s make something crystal clear for any federal agency listening in:

Building a tool is not a crime.
Privacy is not a crime.
Writing code is not a crime.

Yet here we are — watching two builders, two innovators, two privacy advocates be dragged through the mud because the government cannot tolerate the idea of ordinary people having autonomy.

Bill and Keonne didn’t harm anyone. They didn’t steal anything. They didn’t victimize a single soul.

Their so-called “crime” was building privacy tools in an era where governments insist on total surveillance and unquestioned obedience.

This case isn’t about justice. It’s about power. It’s about a government terrified of losing control — terrified enough to cage the very people who create tools that empower the public. When the state starts imprisoning developers for writing code, it is not just an attack on two individuals —it is an attack on everyone who believes freedom extends beyond government-approved boundaries.

If we don’t stand up for the builders now, there won’t be any left to stand up for. If we don’t defend privacy now, the future will be a catalog of state-approved apps where autonomy exists only as decoration. And if this prosecution goes unchallenged, the next target won’t be a wallet developer — it could be anyone who engineers something the government cannot control.

Bill and Keonne deserve freedom.
Coders deserve freedom.
People deserve privacy.
Governments deserve limits.

The state has overplayed its hand and revealed exactly what it fears most:
an empowered public, sovereign individuals, and a world where privacy is guaranteed by math — not granted by authority.

We’re done being polite.
We’re done pretending this is normal.
We’re done letting the state dictate the boundaries of human freedom.

Free Bill.
Free Keonne.
Full pardons now.
And let the builders build.

WHAT YOU CAN DO RIGHT NOW
If you’re pissed off—and you should be—here’s how you can take direct action today:

1️⃣ Sign the petition demanding their freedom:

2️⃣ Learn their story and share it:
👉 https://t.co/UsNeCLBRot

3️⃣ Support their defense fund — with fiat.

Why fiat?

Because the courts have literally ordered them to NOT transact crypto.

Yes, you read that right. The government is so terrified of Bitcoin that they’ve banned the defendants from receiving it. If that doesn’t tell you everything about who the real threat is here, nothing will.

These guys need support, and they need it now.

Can anyone help? Dear @GooglePlay you've suspended my bitchat android app submission 5 days ago for "copyright reasons" (I'm the copyright owner lol!) after taking down an impersonator app. I haven't heard back for 5 days despite opening multiple tickets, what is going on?

All the while new impersonator apps appear on the play store. Please help, people are being scammed with copycats while you're denying the official app submission and not responding to my appeals.

AppId is com .bitchat .droid

A lot of people seem to have the hope that Trump will pardon the Samourai Wallet developers.

While waiting for the Storm verdict, I took some time to read through the White House Digital Asset Report to see what this administration thinks of financial privacy, and my guys - if you still believe that the Trump WH is in *any* capacity friendly to these undertakings, you are in for a very rude awakening.

Effectively, the White House urges FinCEN to deem *all* privacy measures in digital assets a “primary money laundering concern” under the PATRIOT Act.

This includes:

-> single use addresses, wallets and accounts
-> swapping between networks & chains
-> mixers, obviously
-> “pooling” or “aggregating” cryptocurrencies from multiple wallets

Many will now say: oh, but there’s so much good language in the report as well, like the protection of self-custody.

That’s true, but the protection of self-custody is contingent on the *lawful exchange* of assets between users.

That’s why the White House additionally urges Congress to ***expand the PATRIOT Act*** and ***amend the BSA to cover “DeFi” services***.

To ensure compliance in “DeFi,” the White House suggests the implementation of digital identities, that would tie all of your transaction history to your name, so that “DeFi” services have the power to approve transactions.

Even when implemented with ZKProofs, as the White House suggests, this would effectively turn a permissionless system into a permissioned one.

I know we live in the age of celebrating all the Bitcoin wins, but sometimes things that glitter are just a massive pile of sh*t, my dudes.

@beefy1112 @R_Herndon @BitcoinRachy Here’s a post from river in 2023 about DCA timing and frequency https://t.co/tSXxlAAdud

[SmolMaxi #FreeSamourai @SmolMaxi]

@River @BitcoinRachy @thedad88 @Leishman Excited to see it. This has personally been a pain point for me so would love to see something here

[SmolMaxi #FreeSamourai @SmolMaxi]

@River @BitcoinRachy @thedad88 @Leishman Have you considered letting customers pay the difference in fees? Like increasing a DCA from $100 to $200 and then you pay the fees for one week of $100? I don’t want no fee, but it’s a nice QoL change to increase amounts vs having 2 separate $100 DCA

Everybody knows about E2EE Messengers, Private Browsers and VPNs...

But when you need something else, sometimes it's almost impossible to find an alternative to closed source software.
