I'd HIGHLY recommend listening to this interview in it's entirety. Some of the absurd facts of this case:
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)
2. DOJ Blanche Memo in 2025 again reiterates this fact
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
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's arguments
Having followed many cases within the "justice" system for over 20 years, unfortunately, this isn't an anomaly. This is standard operating procedure. It'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.

Why are there so few wholesome movies for small children? Almost impossible to find ones where there’s no dead parents, violence, or scary things. Even G-rated movies typically have at least one of those.
