Samourai Wallet Co-Founder Trapped in $2 Million Debt Crisis; Appeals Urgently to Community After Pardon Hopes Fade

According to CoinTelegraph, Keonne Rodriguez, co-founder of the cryptocurrency mixing protocol Samourai Wallet, has issued an urgent public appeal for donations to the crypto community, stating that he has been “completely financially ruined” by prolonged legal proceedings—accumulating $2 million in legal fees and a $250,000 court-imposed fine—and is now “completely out of funds.” Rodriguez and his co-founder William Lonergan Hill were arrested in April 2024 on charges of conspiracy to commit money laundering and operating an unlicensed money-transmitting business. Both pleaded guilty in July 2025 and were sentenced in November of the same year to five years and four years in federal prison, respectively. Rodriguez stated that his guilty plea was a reluctant, calculated decision aimed at avoiding even longer prison terms and significantly higher litigation costs. Regarding clemency, although former President Trump indicated he would review Rodriguez’s case—and over 15,000 people have already signed a petition urging clemency—Rodriguez candidly admitted that his chances of receiving a pardon are slim: “Unlike CZ or Ross Ulbricht, I am simply a federal prisoner with no money, power, or influence.”

Analysis: Bitcoin Stalled at Key Resistance, ETF Outflows and Fed Divergence Amplify Market Caution

Bitcoin remained near $76,000 on Thursday. After the Federal Reserve held interest rates steady, market attention quickly shifted to internal policy divergence and macroeconomic uncertainty. Analysts noted that Bitcoin remains suppressed below the key resistance range of $78,000 to $79,000, lacking short-term breakout momentum.Thomas Perfumo, Chief Economist at Kraken, stated that the market is currently more focused on policy uncertainty stemming from internal "divisions" within the Federal Reserve rather than the inaction itself. This is particularly true against the backdrop of Chairman Jerome Powell's continued tenure and the potential expectation of Kevin Warsh succeeding him, creating a lack of clear policy transition.Glassnode data shows that Bitcoin remains "trapped" below the True Market Mean, with resistance concentrated in the $78,000 to $79,000 range and support lying between $65,000 and $70,000. While selling pressure has eased, demand remains insufficient to support a sustained upward breakout.On the macro front, the Fed has shown rare, severe internal disagreements, interpreted by the market as rising uncertainty over the inflation path. Analysts from institutions like Bitget Wallet and 21Shares point out that the expectation of "higher rates for longer" is suppressing risk asset performance, pushing the crypto market into a wait-and-see phase.Regarding capital flows, U.S. Bitcoin spot ETFs have recorded net outflows for three consecutive days, with a single-day outflow of approximately $138 million on April 29. Ethereum ETFs saw outflows of about $87.7 million over the same period. Although individual products still saw inflows, the overall trend indicates cooling institutional demand.Meanwhile, CME open interest and ETF assets under management have stabilized but have yet to show strong signals of capital return. In the derivatives market, short positions in perpetual contracts have reached an all-time high, suggesting a potential squeeze if sentiment improves. However, the current market remains dominated by a low-volatility, low-confidence consolidation structure.Overall, Bitcoin is caught in a tug-of-war between an improving support structure and weak demand. Sustained ETF outflows, policy uncertainty, and macroeconomic risks collectively suppress its ability to break through the key resistance range. (The Block)
