Samourai Wallet Defense Claims Prosecutors Buried Key Evidence—Moves to Dismiss Case
Samourai Wallet Defense Claims Prosecutors Buried Key Evidence—Moves to Dismiss Case
5

Lawyers for privacy-focused Bitcoin wallet Samourai dropped a legal grenade today—accusing prosecutors of suppressing exculpatory evidence that could exonerate their clients. The defense team’s motion alleges prosecutorial misconduct so severe it ’undermines the integrity of the entire proceeding.’
Behind the courtroom drama: A brewing showdown between financial privacy advocates and regulators who view tools like coin mixers as existential threats to their surveillance capabilities. ’When the evidence doesn’t fit the narrative, just hide it’—said no financial regulator ever (wink).
The case could set precedent for how courts treat privacy tech in crypto—assuming the system actually allows all the facts to see daylight this time.
