“William Lonergan Hill, co-founder and chief technology officer of Samourai Wallet, was sentenced Wednesday to four years in federal prison for operating an unlicensed money transmitting business tied to the privacy-focused bitcoin service. … Prosecutors argued Hill and co-founder Keonne Rodriguez positioned Samourai Wallet’s privacy tools — particularly Whirlpool and Ricochet — as attractive to criminal users, contributing to as much as $237 million in illicit-linked transactions moving through the platform.” (11/19/25)
