Samourai Wallet Developer Appeals for Donations After Sentencing

Keonne Rodriguez, co-creator of Samourai Wallet, a Bitcoin wallet focused on privacy-enhancing features, is asking the crypto community for financial support. He says he is overwhelmed by legal costs following his money laundering trial and conviction.

Rodriguez and co-founder William Lonergan Hill were sentenced on November 19 to 5 and 4 years in prison, respectively. He also reports about $2 million in legal debt and a $250,000 fine, saying he has been financially wiped out and has no remaining options.
