Keonne Rodriguez, a developer with Samourai Wallet, has entered a plea of not guilty to criminal charges and will remain under home incarceration until the trial commences. As per an April 26 docket entry, Rodriguez's bail terms include securing a $1 million personal recognizance bond by May 14, with two individuals required to co-sign the bond, secured by property in Pennsylvania.

Additional conditions of bail mandate home incarceration, pretrial supervision, and location monitoring technology as directed by pretrial services. Rodriguez's travel is limited to specific districts within New York and Pennsylvania, with connecting areas. Furthermore, he is prohibited from engaging in crypto transactions, operating Samourai Wallet, opening bank accounts without approval, or possessing firearms.

Rodriguez is also restricted from contacting his co-defendant, William Lonergan Hill, except in the presence of counsel. The speedy trial time for Rodriguez is excluded until May 14.

Rodriguez was arrested in the US on April 24, while US authorities initiated an extradition process against Hill, who was apprehended in Portugal. Both face charges of conspiracy to commit money laundering and operating an unlicensed money-transmitting business, carrying a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison. The allegations involve handling $2 billion in illegal Bitcoin transactions and facilitating $100 million in money laundering transactions through Samourai Wallet, along with collecting millions of dollars in fees. The authorities seized the Samourai Wallet app by taking down its website and Google Play store listing on the day of the charges.
