Rodriguez and Hill face charges of conspiracy to commit money laundering and conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money transmitting business. If convicted, they could face up to 20 years and five years in prison, respectively.
some of the harshest penalties are given to people who no one knows like these two guys. no one knew their names. not like they know someone like SBF.
Rodriguez was apprehended on Wednesday morning and is expected to be arraigned in Pennsylvania either today or tomorrow.
if he was living in the USA then that's kind of dumb running an operating like that and trying to live here in America at the same time.
Meanwhile, Hill, serving as Samourai Wallet’s Chief Technology Officer, was arrested in Portugal on the same day and will be extradited to the United States.
I guess his mistake was not living in a country that had no extradition treaty with the USA. if one exists.
Additionally, authorities have seized the Samourai Wallet website, previously hosted in Iceland, and obtained a warrant to seize Samourai's mobile application from the Google Play Store.

bad on portugal too. what you do is tell the usa government to stick it. and don't turn him over. i'll consider portugal to not be very bitcoin friendly along with the usa.
