Don't remind me again today

🚨NEWS: Samourai Wallet just shook the crypto space as co-founder Bill Hill received a four-year prison sentence, sending a sharp ripple through the market. This isn’t just a case about one developer, it’s a turning point in the global fight between privacy, freedom, and regulation in digital finance. For years, the wallet became a symbol of user anonymity, but prosecutors argued that running a money-transmitting service without a license crossed a legal line. Billions in Bitcoin flowed through the platform in ways that made tracing nearly impossible and that became the heart of the conviction.



As the sentence dropped, reactions across the crypto community split fast. Some call it a direct strike on privacy tools, others say it reinforces accountability in a rapidly evolving industry. Hill now faces four years behind bars alongside a heavy penalty, while his co-founder has already been sentenced.

This moment is a reminder that innovation can push boundaries, but it can’t outrun the law. All eyes are now on what this means for privacy wallets, mixing technology, and the future direction of the crypto ecosystem.
