Samourai Wallet co-founders to now plead guilty to US charges
Samourai Wallet co-founders Keonne Rodriguez and William Lonergan Hill say they’ll change their not guilty plea relating to charges tied to their crypto mixing service.
Samourai Wallet co-founders Keonne Rodriguez and William Lonergan Hill have said that they now wish to plead guilty to charges stemming from their involvement in the crypto mixing protocol.
Separate filings on behalf of Rodriguez and Hill were made in a New York federal court on Tuesday, which said the duo would change their pleas before the court on Wednesday morning.
The pair pleaded not guilty to charges in April 2024 for running what prosecutors alleged to be an unlicensed money-transmitting business that processed over $2 billion worth of unlawful transactions, including some tied to illicit online marketplaces like Silk Road.
