@NotATether. It appears that it has been confirmed. The Samourai wallet developers have agreed to make a plea deal with the American government. It will not be shocking if they have presently become informants. The announcement of this will be they are offically hired by the government to be consultants hehehehe.



The developers of Bitcoin mixing service Samourai Wallet pleaded guilty to one count each of conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money transmitting business on Wednesday, taking a plea deal that drastically cut their potential prison time for their role in creating a privacy tool prosecutors say was used to launder more than $100 million in dirty money.

Their plea deal with the government struck the more serious money-laundering charge, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, in exchange for pleading guilty to the lesser, money-transmitting charge, which carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison.
