On May 5, 2025, it was revealed that the DOJ was well-informed that the crypto mixer Samourai Wallet didn’t fit the definition of a money transmitter. However, it didn’t stop the prosecution: Samourai co-founders were arrested anyway. A year later, the case may be dropped by the SEC. Table of ContentsNew details of the caseWhy is Samourai Wallet not acting as a Money Service Business?The backstoryA broader look New details of the case A team of lawyers working for Samourai Wallet made available a letter they sent to the Manhattan federal court on May 5, 2025. The letter reveals that in 2023, the Financial Crime Enforcement Network senior officials informed the Department of Justice that under FinCEN guidance, the crypto mixer Samourai Wallet app doesn’t qualify as a “Money Service Business.” It meant that the app could work without the FinCEN license.  Six months after receiving this notification, prosecutors who got this message criminally charged Samourai Wallet co-founders Keonne Rodriguez and William Lonnergan Hill for operating a money-transmitting service without a license from FinCEN.  Just revealed: FinCEN explicitly told prosecutors Samourai Wallet wasn't a money transmitter due to its non-custodial design; DOJ prosecuted developers anyway, suppressing exculpatory evidence for a year. pic.twitter.com/nxyDrXQGr8— Zack Shapiro (@zackbshapiro) May 5, 2025 According to the letter, prosecutors were covering the fact that they were well aware that Samourai Wallet was not qualified as a money transmitter, prosecuting the service without lawful grounds. The truth was revealed only after a specific request on Apr. 1, 2025. The DOJ didn’t provide the reasoning behind withholding evidence that the department had been advised not to prosecute the co-founders of Samourai Wallet. In the letter, the lawyers quote Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche’s memorandum introduced on Apr. 7. The memo is called “Ending Regulation by Prosecution.” It aims at terminating such practices. The quote goes: “[t]he Justice Department will no longer pursue litigation or enforcement actions that have the effect of superimposing regulatory frameworks on digital assets, while President Trump’s actual regulators do this work outside the punitive criminal justice framework.” More than that, the memo especially notes that the DOJ will no longer prosecute mixing services for acting without a FinCEN license. Withholding the info about the FinCEN’s consultation with the DOJ for nearly a year was a violation on the Justice Department’s side. Although the Blanche Memo must serve as a solid ground for dismissing the charges against Samourai Wallet, the case is yet to be closed.  On May 6, the Judge ordered prosecutors to respond to the letter. Update: Judge Berman just ordered SDNY to respond to the defense's Brady letter by noon on Friday. https://t.co/GRMivAqC9u— Zack Shapiro (@zackbshapiro) May 6, 2025 Read more:US prosecutors seek more time to decide on dropping Samourai Wallet charges Why is Samourai Wallet not acting as a Money Service Business? Samourai was a non-custodial, open-source platform, meaning that it didn’t deal with users’ money; it only provided them with a tool to obfuscate the transaction data. It never had to hold users’ funds at any stage of the operation. The mixer platform’s staff didn’t benefit from the Samourai Wallet operation. Samourai Wallet lawyers explain why the mixing platform doesn’t qualify as a Money Service Business: “The controversy stems from the fact that FinCEN, the principal regulator in this space, had previously issued guidance indicating that the type of non-custodial software that powered the Defendants’ business would not be considered a “money services business” that required a license and procedures designed to detect and prevent money laundering.” The FinCEN guidance focuses on custody as a factor determining whether the platform can be qualified as an MSB or not. Therefore, Samourai Wallet, as a platform that does not have custody over users’ crypto, does not act as an MSB. The letter contains two quotes from Rodriguez’s speeches given before the prosecution started. The things he said indicate that he has been firmly assured that Samourai Wallet doesn’t break the law, based on the very same logic: non-custody platforms don’t need licenses and AML tools. The backstory Samourai Wallet is a crypto mixer app, meaning it obfuscates the transaction data to facilitate private transactions of crypto. The app is non-custodial, and it was guaranteed that the co-founders of the app would not be prosecuted in the U.S. However, in April 2024, the co-founders of Samourai Wallet, Rodriguez and Hill, were charged as operators of an unlicensed money-transmitting business with a $2 billion volume in transactions. Also, they were accused of laundering $100 million in illicit proceeds. According to the press release, the platform was used to launder money associated with the Hydra and Silk Road marketplaces. FBI Assistant Director in Charge James Smith claimed that Rodriguez and Hill knowingly operated an unlawful service for ten years. IRS-CI Special Agent in Charge Thomas Fattorusso stressed that the Samourai Wallet co-founders didn’t care about existing regulations. The latter claim goes against Rodriguez’s statements that if operating a non-custodial crypto mixer was against the law in the U.S., the platform would move jurisdiction.

They face up to 25 years behind bars. A broader look Now, it has become obvious that during the Biden term as the POTUS, the U.S. officials were participating in a stealth crackdown on cryptocurrency.  Aside from the war on crypto mixers, the era was marked by a policy colloquially known as Operation Choke Point 2.0 or the debanking of the crypto business. In short, U.S. officials recommended that banks stop providing services to clients using cryptocurrency. Usually, without explaining the reasons. Currently, the OCP is criticized and fought against by such established people as Sen. Cynthia Lummis and Coinbase CTO Paul Grewal. The Federal Reserve’s chair, Jerome Powell, expressed concerns with debanking, too.  In both the Tornado Cash and Samurai cases, DOJ adopted AML positions that conflicted with FinCEN’s guidance on who actually has AML obligations. This is no way to provide fair notice. https://t.co/GfoxkvG6bH— paulgrewal.eth (@iampaulgrewal) May 5, 2025 Samourai Wallet’s case is similar to the case of another crypto mixer, Tornado Cash. The latter platform is fighting to terminate prosecution as well. Considering the pro-crypto and privacy-friendly direction of the Trump Administration 2.0, there is hope that the founders of crypto mixers will be acquitted, while people responsible for suppressing crypto and debanking crypto businesses will be held accountable.

Santiment 的分析师表示，尽管 Mantra 的下跌加深了市场的怀疑，但 XRP 可能被纳入现货 ETF，这为交易员带来了一股截然不同的乐观情绪。 Santiment 分析师指出，由于 Mantra (OM) 项目的崩溃引发了人们对信任的担忧，加密市场的情绪仍然两极分化，而 XRP (XRP) 交易所交易基金的前景日益光明，为该领域注入了乐观情绪。 在最近的一份研究报告中，分析师认为，OM 的垮台“在信心开始恢复之际引发了新一波的怀疑”，这与 2022 年摧毁市场的 LUNA 崩盘进行了比较。 “虽然没有发现任何确凿的欺诈证据，但 OM 崩盘的时间、规模和后果仍然留下了挥之不去的不信任感。” 桑蒂门特 您可能还喜欢：Mantra 代币崩盘暴露流动性风险和市场操纵 分析人士表示，尽管 OM 团队承诺重建信任，但该项目声誉的损害实际上可能难以克服。 另一方面，人们对 XRP 现货 ETF 获批的兴趣日益浓厚，也带来了一线希望。正如彭博 ETF 分析师 Eric Balchunas 此前指出的那样，2025 年 XRP 现货 ETF 获批的可能性“相当高”。Ripple 的内部预测显示，到 2033 年，代币化资产市场规模可能从目前的 0.6 万亿美元飙升至 18.9 万亿美元，届时 XRP 将成为未来的关键参与者。 一只 2 倍 XRP ETF 将于明天在美国上市，这是市场上首只 XRP ETF。新资产的首只 ETF 竟然是杠杆型的，这很奇怪（或许是史无前例的）。现货 XRP 仍未获批，尽管我们看好它获批的几率很高。文章来自 ⁦⁦@isabelletanlee⁩ pic.twitter.com/Eg4Wq5Y1Qi— Eric Balchunas (@EricBalchunas) 2025年4月7日 尽管如此，分析师指出，与近期高点相比，许多资产仍在亏损交易。Santiment 指出，加密货币市场的走向很大程度上取决于美联储的利率决策，这意味着如果降息与更明确的贸易决议同时发生，这可能为传统市场和加密货币市场的强劲复苏奠定基础。 阅读更多：Mantra 首席执行官提议销毁其团队代币分配，因为 OM 仍比周高点下跌 88%
