@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.

Its the only way! Sign the petition, take the samourai devs main stream and let America know that we will not roll over for freedom and privacy. #FreeSamourai #FreeTDev
It would mean a lot if you would sign this petition calling on @realDonaldTrump to pardon me and Bill
In 30 days we will report to prison. Unless the President steps in.
Developers shouldn't be liable for the actions of bad actors using their software

@KYCfree Never band a knee. Never back down. Always hit back twice as hard. If you cannot gain territory from the enemy then stand your ground. Those who go soft, fence sit or outright commiserate with the enemy... Treat them as equals and jettison. "This ain't no fucking country club."
More news about the Samourai Wallet case. People talking about irrelevant shit while the important fights go unnoticed...
Onward!

Further Update: Defense counsel responded to @SDNYnews's letter, absolutely eviscerating the Government's characterization of the Brady disclosure as an "informal" conversation that is not relevant to the prosecution's case:
"The information the Government suppressed for almost a year is classic Brady: During its investigation of Samourai Wallet, prosecutors called FinCEN to determine whether it would qualify as a “money services business” that was required to have a license and to implement anti-money laundering controls. Two FinCEN employees, including the Chief of FinCEN’s Virtual Assets and Emerging Technology Section in the Enforcement and Compliance Division, responded that, under FinCEN’s guidance, the answer was “no” because Samourai did not take custody of a user’s cryptocurrency. Because this response precisely echoes the public statements Samourai Wallet made about why its business did not run afoul of the licensing and money laundering requirements for money transmitters, FinCEN’s statements provide powerful corroboration of Mr. Hill and Mr. Rodriguez’s good faith belief that they were not violating any laws."
"Notwithstanding the negative response it received from FinCEN—the actual regulator responsible for enforcing the anti-money laundering rules that financial services providers must follow—prosecutors brought charges for operating an unlicensed money transmitting business anyway. Over the next year, prosecutors produced many terabytes of discovery, carefully avoiding disclosure of what they had to know would be a bombshell—proof of the very “regulation by prosecution” that two U.S. Senators protested at the time of the charges, that the cryptocurrency industry has decried in letters to Congress and the President, and that is now the subject of the Blanche Memo."
"[T]he Government argues that its “informal” call with FinCEN does not fall within the 'strict requirements' of Brady because FinCEN’s representatives were merely expressing an “individual opinion.” It then argues that the Supreme Court’s decision overturning the Chevron doctrine, means that FinCEN’s interpretation of the law lacks any 'authoritative effect.' This is sophistry. The reason why the August 23, 2023, call is favorable to the defense has nothing to do with whether the FinCEN employees were right or wrong about the law. Rather, it is the fact that they expressed the identical interpretation of the FinCEN guidance as the Defendants did in their public statements while they were supposedly knowingly engaged in a criminal conspiracy. That FinCEN employees—including the one responsible for enforcing FinCEN rules against companies like Samourai Wallet—had the same 'opinion' as Mr. Hill and Mr. Rodriguez is evidence that they reasonably believed that they did not require a FinCEN license or anti-money laundering controls."
"Moreover, by citing to a Supreme Court case about the level of deference owed to an agency’s interpretation of 'an ambiguous statute,' the Government unintentionally reveals the ugly truth that has made this prosecution so controversial from the start. The Government may not criminally prosecute Mr. Hill and Mr. Rodriguez for violations of 'an ambiguous statute.' For this reason, the Government’s continued failure to dismiss this prosecution under the Blanche Memo only delays what should be inevitable—the dismissal of the charges as a matter of law."

A new research paper dives into Monero’s decentralized P2P exchanges (DEXs) like Haveno, Bisq, and UnstoppableSwap. These platforms aim to preserve privacy after LocalMonero’s shutdown—but the findings raise some potential flags.
Here’s a thread. 🧵
The world is not a fair game; laws don't apply equally to everyone.
We are living in 1984, where everything is rewritten for the benefit of the state.

Just revealed: FinCEN explicitly told prosecutors Samourai Wallet wasn't a money transmitter due to its non-custodial design; DOJ prosecuted developers anyway, suppressing exculpatory evidence for a year.
"We are privacy activists who have dedicated our lives to creating the software that Silicon Valley will never build, the regulators will never allow, and the VC’s will never invest in. We build the software that Bitcoin deserves."

The Samourai Devs have been under arrest for a year, $4 million combined bail, and facing 25 years each for building open source software.

CoinJoin coordinators are simply message passers. This is true of Wasabi & Whirlpool. They are not money transmitters, they are not facilitators they simply pass data packets to connected clients. Clients never surrender custody to any 3rd party. Clients collaborate w/ each other
The Samourai developers have officially been arrested for a year.
They're each facing 25 years with "conspiracy" charges for building open source software.
None of the "criminals" using the software have been arrested.

Day 362 since the Samourai Wallet developers were indicted, raided, & arrested.
Non-custodial wallets are not money transmitters. CoinJoins are not money laundering. Drop the charges. Stop the lawfare.

@OGTHERABBIT Hum. A la base je le définirais pas comme ça c’est un mec qui a construit un site surtout. Sinon dire que personne ne se lève pour snowden est quelque peu exagéré non ?
En tous cas moi je n’y croyais pas à cette grâce, finalement Trump a tenu sa promesse. #freeTdev now
La persona que más ha hecho por la adopción de bitcoin después de Lazzlo, puede obtener su libertad en breve.

Free all the political prisoners in the bitcoin space! This is all clearly an attack on their character.
Building a freemarket website should not get you 2x life sentenced + 45yrs.

And bitcoin devs shouldn't be arrested for coding.
