Co-founder Samourai wallet faced a new delivery after 30 days

What happened to Keonne Rodriguez?

Keonne Rodriguez, co-founder of Samourai wallet , filed through X on Wednesday that he will be transferred to a new prison again after the drug rehabilitation program at FCI McKean was shut down.

According to Rodriguez's account, prison director McKean informed the program participants that he and 70 other inmates would be transferred to facilities still open for treatment.

The reason he applied for this program is because successfully completing it can reduce a prison sentence of up to 1 year.

How bad was the last time you were in prison?

In a letter circulated through The Rage media, Rodriguez said the trip from FPC Morgantown to McKean was "the worst 30 days of my life" even though the actual journey took only about 4 hours and requests for travel were denied.

Prisoners leaving Morgantown were handcuffed, their ankles shackled with chains before being taken by bus to the airport and then flown to a Federal Transfer Center in Oklahoma City.

At the facility, he was held with prisoners of varying security levels and spent most of his time in solitary confinement. At one point, he wrote that he wondered if "every circle of hell" had disappeared at this federal transfer center. He later shared a room with murder convicts and was given only half a fountain bed, forcing him to sleep on some steel structure all night long.

What's this about?

Rodriguez is serving a five-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to conspiracy to conduct a money laundering business without a license. The U.S. Department of Justice says he and William Lonergan Hill, another cofounder of Samourai, have transferred more than $237 million in criminal funds through their services.

What are the rights of crypto developers now?

This case occurred in conjunction with efforts by the UK government to protect developers who do not control users' assets from being considered financial intermediaries.

The latest version of the CLARITY Act in the Senate still maintains a bill from the blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act that protects developers who do not control their assets from having to receive certain funds under the Bank Secrecy Act.

However, the Senate was unable to push the CLARITY Act through on September 15 after voting by less than the 60 votes needed to move forward with this bill.

How does this relate to read people?

Although the case originated in the United States, the issue of "to what extent should developers of wallet or crypto tools be liable" is a challenge faced by regulatory agencies around the world including the SEC (Thailand) Thailand. As digital currency service providers in Thailand are required to obtain licenses and strictly regulated, it becomes clear who counts as a "money receiver" and who merely serves as a software developer.
