Samourai Wallet founders Keonne Rodriguez and William Hill pleaded guilty to conspiring to operate an unlicensed money-transmitting business. The plea deal drops more serious money laundering charges, capping their potential sentence at five years. Prosecutors say the Samourai platform processed over $2 billion in illicit transactions, including dark web activity. The pair agreed to forfeit $238 million. Sentencing is set for November 2025. This case highlights rising U.S. enforcement against crypto mixing tools, paralleling the Tornado Cash trial. Regulators view such platforms as enablers of financial crime, intensifying scrutiny of privacy-focused services in the digital asset ecosystem.
