PANews June 7 news, according to Decrypt, two cryptocurrency advocacy organizations submitted amicus briefs on behalf of Samourai Wallet this week, but were dismissed by a federal judge. The Blockchain Association, Coin Center, and DeFi Education Fund argued in their respective briefs that Samourai Wallet merely assists people in conducting financial transactions online and does not violate U.S. law. In April 2024, police arrested Samourai Wallet developers Keonne Rodriguez and William Lonergan Hill and subsequently shut down the website; the U.S. Department of Justice accused the application of being an 'unlicensed money transfer business' used by criminals.
