Trump ordered a review of Samourai Wallet co-founder Keonne Rodriguez’s case ahead of his five-year prison term. The President directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to reassess the situation as debates continue over whether privacy-focused, non-custodial tools should be classified as money transmitters. Rodriguez and co-founder William Longeran Hill accepted plea deals last month. The case raises broader questions about regulatory frameworks for blockchain technologies like Proof of Work and Proof of Stake.
