We just sent this email to our entire customer base. But we are sharing here because it's too important not to try to get in front of as many people as possible.

THE STATE JUST DECLARED WAR ON CODERS…

Let’s get straight to the point:

The charges against Samourai founders

@keonne

and Bill are absolute bullshit.

Not “misguided,” not “misinformed,” not “concerning.”

Bullshit.

There was no fair path to trial for Bill and Keonne.

They took a plea because the judge made a fair trial impossible — dismissing their motions without real consideration, telegraphing hostility toward their defense, and making it abundantly clear that any attempt to fight the charges would be met with the harshest outcome the system could deliver.

When the referee rigs the match before the bell even rings, stepping into the ring isn’t bravery — it’s self-destruction.

This wasn’t justice.

This wasn’t due process.

This was the state using the courts as a pressure chamber to make an example out of them.

And let’s make something crystal clear for any federal agency listening in:

Building a tool is not a crime.

Privacy is not a crime.

Writing code is not a crime.

Yet here we are — watching two builders, two innovators, two privacy advocates be dragged through the mud because the government cannot tolerate the idea of ordinary people having autonomy.

Bill and Keonne didn’t harm anyone. They didn’t steal anything. They didn’t victimize a single soul.

Their so-called “crime” was building privacy tools in an era where governments insist on total surveillance and unquestioned obedience.

This case isn’t about justice. It’s about power. It’s about a government terrified of losing control — terrified enough to cage the very people who create tools that empower the public. When the state starts imprisoning developers for writing code, it is not just an attack on two individuals —it is an attack on everyone who believes freedom extends beyond government-approved boundaries.

If we don’t stand up for the builders now, there won’t be any left to stand up for. If we don’t defend privacy now, the future will be a catalog of state-approved apps where autonomy exists only as decoration. And if this prosecution goes unchallenged, the next target won’t be a wallet developer — it could be anyone who engineers something the government cannot control.

Bill and Keonne deserve freedom.

Coders deserve freedom.

People deserve privacy.

Governments deserve limits.

The state has overplayed its hand and revealed exactly what it fears most:

an empowered public, sovereign individuals, and a world where privacy is guaranteed by math — not granted by authority.

We’re done being polite.

We’re done pretending this is normal.

We’re done letting the state dictate the boundaries of human freedom.

Free Bill.

Free Keonne.

Full pardons now.

And let the builders build.

WHAT YOU CAN DO RIGHT NOW

If you’re pissed off—and you should be—here’s how you can take direct action today:

1️⃣ Sign the petition demanding their freedom:

👉 https://change.org/p/stand-up-for-freedom-pardon-the-innocent-coders-jailed-for-building-privacy-tools?recruited_by_id=02661b10-bf6a-11f0-b550-a388e9e41739

2️⃣ Learn their story and share it:

👉 https://billandkeonne.org

3️⃣ Support their defense fund — with fiat.

Why fiat?

Because the courts have literally ordered them to NOT transact crypto.

Yes, you read that right. The government is so terrified of Bitcoin that they’ve banned the defendants from receiving it. If that doesn’t tell you everything about who the real threat is here, nothing will.

👉 https://givesendgo.com/billandkeonne

These guys need support, and they need it now.

Lol... I read this, and couldn't believe this was true. Had to verify and sure enough it looks like they've bent the knee. lol.

You won't see this on our service. I'd rather shut it all down.

Fun Fact: Binance once sent us a cease and desist notice because we created an open-source payment plugin for their portal when they refused to create one.

Now they are larping about bringing back cypherpunks...

Binance, Cypherpunks never left, and you were never among them.

Bitcoin isn't a toy for corporations looking to grind out a "quick buck." They're only interested in 'magic number' going up, while our focus is on privacy, sovereignty, self custody, and freedom.

We're not interested in "a Bitcoin for suits and ties"!

😂 imagine being a "cypherpunk" and wanting huge corporations to control the BTC supply.

Get it done. Even if you have issues with Proton, this is a net positive, so sign.

Working on it.

Part of the issue is our Payment processors also run on clearnet. If we run a .onion site, the payments would be clearnet anyways.

Looking into solutions around this.
