🇺🇸 Donald Trump said he would explore the possibility of pardoning Keonne Rodriguez, co-founder and CEO of the private crypto wallet Samourai Wallet.

Context:

• Rodriguez was sentenced to 5 years in prison for operating Samourai Wallet with a cryptomixer function.

• U.S. authorities say the service was used to launder millions of dollars.

• His partner and CTO received a 4-year sentence.

• Trump's statement comes amid Ross Ulbricht's pardon and a softer stance toward the crypto industry.

• The crypto community is actively promoting pardons not only for Samourai Wallet's developers but also for Tornado Cash.

• Trump has already pardoned CZ (former CEO of Binance), calling it the end of the “war on crypto” waged by the Biden administration.

Keonne Rodriguez: “If Donald Trump takes a close look at our case, he will see deja vu with how the Biden DOJ preyed on his opponents. I believe he will do the right thing and grant clemency."
