Samourai Wallet founders arrestend and services seized: a serious attack on privacy and liberty of all

Yesterday, April 24, 2024, the founders of Samourai Wallet were arrested on charges of money laundering and providing unauthorized money transmission services. The arrests followed an investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice, with one of the founders arrested in Portugal thanks to cooperation from European law enforcement authorities.

Although investigations began around 2022, it is no coincidence, in my opinion, that the founders of Samourai were arrested at this particular historical moment.

The attack on Samourai has a political nature. The U.S. government does not care about money laundering; they are the first to launder money. They are interested in preventing substantial leaps forward in financial privacy (and thus freedom) that would limit their ability to extract resources from the masses of tax-paying slaves.
