The District Court for the Southern District of New York rejected a request by Keonne Rodriguez, founder of Samourai Wallet, to amend his bail conditions. Prosecutors submitted as evidence handwritten "escape preparation" notes by Rodriguez, which detailed travel plans and emergency items.
Rodriguez's lawyers argued that it was just a general contingency plan, but prosecutors argued that it was an active escape plan. Previously, it was reported that Rodriguez and co-founder William Lonergan Hill were arrested in April for operating an unregistered money transfer business, involving 2 billion dollars in illegal transactions and 100 million dollars in money laundering transactions. The founders' lawyers cited a letter from the two senators in May, accusing the Justice Department of over-interpreting non-custodial crypto asset software services.
