On December 16, U.S. President Donald Trump said he would consider a pardon for Keonne Rodriguez, the Samourai Wallet developer. Trump told Attorney General Pam Bondi, “We will look into this, Pam.” Rodriguez was sentenced to five years in federal prison for his role in creating the Samourai Wallet, a tool that helps users maintain Bitcoin privacy. He is set to start his sentence this Friday. The case has sparked renewed interest in what is crypto privacy and how it intersects with U.S. law enforcement.
