Samourai Wallet Case Delayed as DOJ Restructures Crypto Enforcement

Legal proceedings against the Samourai Wallet team have been delayed, following a significant shift in US crypto regulatory policy. The Department of Justice (DOJ) is restructuring its approach to digital asset cases, leading to a potential dismissal of charges against CEO Keonne Rodriguez and CTO William Hill, who were originally charged with money laundering conspiracy and operating an unlicensed money-transmitting business. This change comes after the DOJ announced their intention to focus on victimization within the crypto sector rather than broad investigations.
