COURTHOUSE,
April 29 – In another crypto
industry prosecution by DOJ,
on April 29 crypto-mixed
Samourai Wallet's Keonne
Rodriguez was presented and
released on bond in the U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrate Court, where Inner
City Press was the only media
present.
Rodriguez, 35, was released on
$1 million bond, to be secured
by a property at 610 Wood
Street, Harmony, PA 16037.
Of note are the conditions of
release: "(i) Defendant is not
to operate, work for, or
perform services for Samourai
Wallet. (ii) Defendant is not
to engage in any
cryptocurrency transactions,
directly or indirectly, w/o
prior approval of PTS and the
Government. (iii) Defendant is
to have no contact with his
co-defendant, directly or
indirectly, except in the
presence of counsel."
His
co-defendant William Hill has
been arrested in Portugal and
will, DOJ says, be extradited.
Like
Tornado Cash / Roman Storm and
other crypto cases (SBF book
here), Inner City Press will
cover the case.
It is US v.
Rodriguez, et al., 24-cr-82
