SDNY 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 (Berman / Moses)
