The US Department of Justice (DOJ) is requesting a delay in court proceedings for Samourai Wallet founders, pending a decision on dropping the charges. This request follows an April 28 letter from defense attorneys to Judge Richard Berman, seeking a 16-day extension of pretrial motions deadline. The new schedule would push the deadline for motions to May 29, with responses due June 26 and replies by July 10. The trial date remains unchanged. Samourai Wallet co-founders Keonne Rodriguez and William Hill are facing charges related to operating an unlicensed money-transmitting business and laundering over $100 million through the platform. The DOJ’s decision on dropping the charges hinges on a possible agreement with defense attorneys regarding the case’s merits.
