​🇺🇸 Trump may pardon Samourai Wallet developer

​US President Donald Trump officially stated that he is considering a presidential pardon for Keonne Rodriguez, co-founder of the Samourai Wallet mixer.

​What you need to know:

​Instruction to the Attorney General: Trump reported that he has already taken notice of this case and instructed Attorney General Pam Bondi to thoroughly examine the pardon request.

​The essence of the case: Last month, Rodriguez was sentenced to 5 years in federal prison. The US Department of Justice classified the development of the wallet with privacy features as an "illegal money transmission business."

​Tight deadlines: According to the ruling, the developer must report for serving the sentence this Friday.

​This step may serve as an important signal for the crypto industry, especially regarding privacy protection and developer accountability for the open-source software they create.
