Time for Trump to sign something!
#FreeSamourai
Given the amount of pardons beging thrown at all sorts of people, I see no one deserving more one than the samourai devs. Hopefully they get one!
Trump needs blackmail on them first, like he had on Ross.
I found myself wondering specifically about this line:
"Omar introduced me to several of his friends, mostly doctors and highly educated scientists."
I suppose this could be a facility specifically for white collar criminals, but it did also occur to me what a depressing state it is that any prison has an entire "crew" of people with MDs and PhDs....
White collar criminals are often intelligent and highly educated. Keonne himself is a very smart guy.
So smart, but not smart enough to avoid a cell.
🤷
Well sure, a "smart guy" who 100% doesn't deserve to see the inside of a jail cell....
I guess what I'm wondering is, is that the same for all the other MD's and PhD's that, apparently, are incarcerated at such a density that they can actually form a "friend group" in the joint?
Do we really have that many "evil geniuses" in our society, or is this yet another indictment of the American Carceral State that so many people of this intellectual caliber are locked up?
Obviously I don’t know but I would bet a lot of them are in for fraud of one type or another. Which is a legit crime unlike keonne who I agree is innocent
Everything built from here on needs to be decentralized. I can't read another story like this again.
Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄 I hope you all are enjoying the holiday with family and friends. Below is a letter written by Samourai Wallet developer Keonne Rodriguez after his first week in prison, where he will stay for the next 5 years for writing freedom code. Today I am grateful for my freedom, and am taking a moment to remember those who have had theirs taken away. We managed to get Ross out, even though it took so many years… it could easily be one of us in that jail cell, away from our families, for some trumped up charge… if you have a spare moment today and want to contribute to #freesamourai please read the below letter and sign the petition for his release… Merry Christmas 🎄 God bless you all!
I dont know how Satoshi knew to avoid this situation but he did
Keonne's situation should be a warning to anyone using their real identity
I tried to amp the petition but couldn't get any traction. Only 12,309 currently. NOSTR seems weak.
very touching and heartbreaking. we need to get him out
Necesitamos que esté libre #freesamourai
Wow glad he’s not being violated in there
Glad to hear so far so good. I hope today's visit went well & plan to write in
Thanks for sharing Matt… that was a tough read
Looking for some ray of light it’s a relief to hear so far his fellow inmates are seemingly civilised and there’s a sense of camaraderie
Tougher with the knowledge that he’s. not the first person to face the injustice system, he’s just one with an audience. This is plenty of people’s stories every single day in America.
SW enabled Bitcoin use as cash Keonne and Bill are The First victims of war on cash
And Bitcoin is digital cash make no mistake!
Cash dies, Bitcoin lives. Digital freedom can’t be censored. #freesamourai
I feel filled with righteous anger at him being imprisoned
I wonder, since they’re not on bail anymore, if we can send them ₿ directly as a donation now…?
