Samourai cüzdanının kurucu ortağı 5 yıl hapis cezası aldı: 2,37 milyar dolarlık uzlaşmanın arkasındaki karışık para hizmetleri düzenleme fırtınası

【Chainwen】New York Federal Court has just handed down a heavy sentence to Keonne Rodriguez, co-founder of Samourai Wallet — five years in prison for operating an unlicensed fund transfer business. This guy had already reached a plea agreement with prosecutors, agreeing to forfeit $237 million in assets plus a $400,000 fine along with his co-founder.

The core of the case? Their mixing service was accused of laundering funds from dark web transactions and scams. This ruling sends a clear signal: regulators are tightening controls over privacy tools in crypto, especially those that could be misused.

For the entire industry, this case serves as another wake-up call — compliance boundaries are becoming clearer, and the space for gray-area operations is shrinking rapidly.
