Some of the absurd facts of this case:<br/><br/>1. FinCEN in both 2013 and then again in 2019 explicitly stated that you must take custody of bitcoin to be a money transmitting business and that non-custodial software did not count (something Samourai, based on FinCEN and advice of counsel never did to stay within the law)<br/>2. DOJ Blanche Memo in 2025 again reiterates this fact<br/>3. Prosecutors asked FinCEN specifically if Samouri was doing something illegal and they said no. They went ahead and charged them anyways and hid this critical fact unlawfully for over a year until the defense was able to find it<br/>4. When the defense tried to bring these facts to light, they switched out the judge on the case to one known for being extremely pro-prosecutor and giving the harshest sentences. They judge refused to even hear the defense&#39;s arguments<br/><br/>Having followed many cases within the &#34;justice&#34; system for over 20 years, unfortunately, this isn&#39;t an anomaly. This is standard operating procedure. It&#39;s enraging every time, but this is nothing out of the ordinary. We need to put pressure on Trump to #pardonsamourai, but the system itself is fundamentally broken.<blockquote class="border-l-05rem border-l-strongpink border-solid"><div class="-ml-4 bg-gradient-to-r from-gray-100 dark:from-zinc-800 to-transparent mr-0 mt-0 mb-4 pl-4 pr-2 py-2">quoting <br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Article"><a itemprop="url" href="/nevent1qqsgvu3g8h5haa5ehd3fh2en9pt9dd2ffwp4suxjw8k7g89nnq0emnsxp67qa" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1">nevent1q…67qa</a></span> </div> Why President Trump Should PARDON SAMOURAI <br/><br/>Keonne Rodriguez of Samourai Wallet with <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qyt8wue69uhh2mtzwfjkctnvda3kzmp6xsurgwqpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqqgxy3c5lqj6g9nqpeg0ea7xgdmurrrq9nc8fx5er2930pq8jdc2vzyu7yza6" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>walker</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…yza6</span>)</a></span> <br/><br/>FOUNTAIN: <a href="https://www.fountain.fm/episode/R1mZLjuDSjbNXevkanvY">https://www.fountain.fm/episode/R1mZLjuDSjbNXevkanvY</a><br/>YOUTUBE: <a href="https://youtu.be/F_oQ3fgxkkI">https://youtu.be/F_oQ3fgxkkI</a><br/>RUMBLE: <a href="https://rumble.com/v72xz6o-why-president-trump-should-pardon-samourai-with-keonne-rodriguez.html">https://rumble.com/v72xz6o-why-president-trump-should-pardon-samourai-with-keonne-rodriguez.html</a><br/>SPOTIFY: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/0yhF6BHstcaOSd0Q1SbEzm">https://open.spotify.com/episode/0yhF6BHstcaOSd0Q1SbEzm</a><br/>APPLE: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/why-president-trump-should-pardon-samourai-keonne-rodriguez/id1694392423?i=1000741039344">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/why-president-trump-should-pardon-samourai-keonne-rodriguez/id1694392423?i=1000741039344</a><br/>GET EMAILED: <a href="https://walkeramerica.substack.com/">https://walkeramerica.substack.com/</a><br/>SHOW NOTES: <a href="https://open.substack.com/pub/walkeramerica/p/keonne-rodriguez">https://open.substack.com/pub/walkeramerica/p/keonne-rodriguez</a><br/>EVERYWHERE ELSE: <a href="https://bitcoinpodcast.net/podcast">https://bitcoinpodcast.net/podcast</a> </blockquote> 2025-12-17T02:37:33+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsqfd5r8uygfuh0xfqymv5ff89gperhl994lde42wc92mf9ulu7fmqzypgcnp3qarku6y0yzwfay37326xkk3ekrtjkmtf3t46vm6pztc87jy644c4 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvy40wlhynvdu9w9rhw4s02kuuq7sup09wynx5qnyp7mtqna4vuesdphy6m'>nevent1q…hy6m</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Yes, I don’t want religious nonsense either. 2025-12-07T18:52:57+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsgtnh2uv5wgdkxluv66qd8w43lzaw29g2jl6k9w4wz654wjx5rgvszypgcnp3qarku6y0yzwfay37326xkk3ekrtjkmtf3t46vm6pztc87j69w6gs In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxfql6alxut4t7pe04lw7knm35ylu2yqrlu98lweqh7gwvv2e48kcxp6e9a'>nevent1q…6e9a</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>3-5 year olds need to be constantly confronted with that stuff? 2025-12-07T18:52:09+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs8cr0acc439hz0s6wm3eylr0fua32a7hjfkez73mrm7fsuhyfcw2qzypgcnp3qarku6y0yzwfay37326xkk3ekrtjkmtf3t46vm6pztc87jhthlme Why are there so few wholesome movies for small children?

Long-term, the best solution to reducing political violence is to dramatically reduce or eliminate the state. The nature of the state is violence and when people are able to wield the state’s violence against each other incredible amounts of strife, and in extreme cases, violence, manifest.

Privacy SHOULDN’T be a crime in the U.S., but it has been criminalized from the start, despite the 4th Amendment. <br/><br/>The government has continuously encroached on and criminalized privacy over the years. And even if something isn’t explicitly illegal, it doesn’t matter. The government has never and will never follow their own rules. They will do whatever they want with impunity. The state never follows their own rules, they are above the law. Only occasionally will they get a small slap on the wrist if there is a cross-agency disagreement. <br/><br/>The only long term solution is abolishing the state and abiding by the non-aggression principle. 2024-04-25T13:33:54+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsfn7ha8f7kgcln64x0sr3rfzw36pn2sgsu2jywggwf4h2upm5622czypgcnp3qarku6y0yzwfay37326xkk3ekrtjkmtf3t46vm6pztc87j8np72x Unfortunately if you are working on privacy tech, your best course of action to protect yourself is to renounce your U.S. citizenship, move to a non-extradition country, and do everything possible to stay anonymous. <br/><br/>Privacy is a crime in the eyes of the USG.

When has anyone in the government ever cared about getting sued? <br/><br/>There are no real repercussions for it. Taxpayer money is used for their defense, and there are no individual civil or criminal penalties if they lose. Perhaps a tiny bit of reputation damage, but that’s nothing. <br/><br/>If anything, the agency may use it as an excuse to grow their people and budget further to defend against lawsuits. <br/><br/>I’d put the odds in favor of Gary denying it. Most people in government don’t care about the law, because they can break it without repercussions, but especially not Gary. 2024-03-11T02:21:45+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqswg7z58pd8zd6fe2hgn0kpcc0y3lwyaqmyjkxgmrjywtgnl9w6nqczypgcnp3qarku6y0yzwfay37326xkk3ekrtjkmtf3t46vm6pztc87jsnd6tl The U.S. government has long weaponized private companies to violate the rights of individuals.

OTC trades do very much impact price. OTC “desks” work to source liquidity for large buys / sells (often via connection to multiple exchange counterparties). Their goal is to get buyers / sellers better execution than just slamming a large order on a single exchange which can price cause slippage. This is often done automatically via Request-For-Quote (RFQ) systems. <br/><br/>All trades impact spot price, even if they’re done OTC. E.g., many people take the other side of a large sell trade and would have bought from other sellers. A large marginal seller pushes down price. Granted if someone market bought / sold hundreds of millions on a single exchange, there would likely be ripple effects due to price slippage, but doing OTC would still 100% impact the price. <br/><br/>To learn more:<br/><a href="https://www.gsr.io/trading/otc-trading/">https://www.gsr.io/trading/otc-trading/</a><br/><a href="https://www.kraken.com/institutions/otc">https://www.kraken.com/institutions/otc</a> 2024-02-17T19:38:40+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsydfag96me0ltf9e2rvxq0fjfr9q6m39lsusjg9wx7aguuhsse57czypgcnp3qarku6y0yzwfay37326xkk3ekrtjkmtf3t46vm6pztc87jwlqtd8 Exactly 1 month from today, #Bitcoin  ceases to exist.

In the first 5-10 years, I believed Democrats were superior to Republicans (slightly worse on economy, much better on war and civil liberties). <br/><br/>However it&#39;s now abundantly clear Democrats are by far the biggest threat to liberty. They are significantly worse on almost every issue - the economy and civil liberties and typically worse on war (e.g., Ukraine). It&#39;s incredible how far and fast they&#39;ve fallen. They could have chosen the path of anti-war and pro-civil liberties (at least compared to Republicans), but instead have turned into authoritarians on nearly every issue.<br/><br/>Republicans are still awful obviously, but they&#39;re in a different league than Democrats. 2024-02-02T00:09:43+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsvj0s53yw6qp983zg3q9ulsplj72ehmhxr7ep46kmw8nk37035ahqzypgcnp3qarku6y0yzwfay37326xkk3ekrtjkmtf3t46vm6pztc87ja8t250 A must read.

People knowingly choosing to gamble isn’t fraud so long as they are not being lied to. <br/><br/>Scams involve defrauding someone - “the intentional use of deceit, a trick or some dishonest means to deprive another of his/her/its money, property or a legal right.” - Law.com<br/><br/>On the flip side, nothing wrong with being against them / calling them dumb. A free market doesn’t mean you need to be in favor of market activity and can’t call it out as dumb. There is a ton of activity in a free market that is worth calling out. In fact, speaking out against things is a critically important in a well functioning free market. 2024-01-31T13:59:58+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqst0zlx6tsqkwxlax8zax05n0sv5z8yfwt39qykl96l9kpcgcyjr5szypgcnp3qarku6y0yzwfay37326xkk3ekrtjkmtf3t46vm6pztc87jc8rqkk In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsyhe7n5l75800hafy0c4w9u8pvlnzrj82pmgk23junrvsch7gpywqf6l6rt'>nevent1q…l6rt</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Thank you Jack! 2023-05-05T18:38:24+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs99zwesa9fgxmchd8fqyvvz9jezmz9whg6w6ml0hmfn9r3l20mvagzypgcnp3qarku6y0yzwfay37326xkk3ekrtjkmtf3t46vm6pztc87jrdcj7u In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqspvww296macnzxnlyrz00k3e55pxaxxg98hqq28ueuxmz469jhkkq3h8ama'>nevent1q…8ama</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Calvin.
