Crypto Advocacy Group Calls for Dismissal of Samourai Wallet Case

A group of cryptocurrency advocates has urged the U.S. authorities to dismiss the charges against Samourai Wallet, a Bitcoin mixing service, arguing that prosecuting software developers who do not handle user funds directly violates existing law and undermines privacy principles in the industry. The call follows a recent rejection of their amicus briefs by a federal judge. The plea stems from accusations of illegal money transmission based on Samourai’s role as a Bitcoin mixer enabling users to mask their transaction history. 7/10: This is a huge development. It’s not just about the case, it’s about how the US legal system approaches crypto and privacy.
