Get 5% off using the code pleb underground at BTCpins.com. I know it's a little bit of a different format for the people who enjoy clips, but this week we do not have our normal weekly episode. Um, so I'm going to do a clip about the story that we've been

covering for a while, and for me, I'm particularly interested in this, uh, because I think it has much bigger implications than just Bitcoin, right? Like, I think that this has wider implications about, um, we'll say personal, uh, privacy. Um, so anyways, let's dive into this. A letter filed on July 3rd in the case against Samurai wallet Founders Keon Rodriguez and William Ionian Hill reveals that the US government has agreed to the release on bail of Hill, also known as Tev. The parties have agreed that Mr. Hill should be released on bail. Hill's defense requests that he'll be released to his home in Lisbon, Portugal, pending trial, which is opposed by the US government, not to his sister's basement in Brooklyn, which the US government supports. Hill's defense argues that the prosecution has already generated considerable controversy, referring to an open letter written by Senator Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming and Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon in May, criticizing the prosecution's unprecedented and unlawful change in interpretation of the law. Hill's defense

states that Finsen guidance has long made clear that peer-to-peer apps like Samurai do not qualify as money transmitting services. It highlights that the fact that Mr. Hill offered it openly for nine years evidences that they, like the Senators, also thought it was legal. Hill's defense argues that even Google appeared to think the operation of Samurai wallet to be legal. The letter states that Google first offered Samurai wallet, an Android app to Android mobile device users, in its App Store in May 2015. It remained available through April 2024 when Google removed it following Mr. Hill and his codefendants' arrest. Throughout those 9 years, Samurai wallet operated openly and notoriously, and Google made it available to the world's approximately 3.9 billion Android users. Google is known for its robust app review process, which requires app developers to comply with local laws, regulations, and industry standards. The letter states that according to the US government's argumentation, Google would be an unindicted co-conspirator by publicly offering and profiting from

the sale of an app. The government now claims was unambiguously intended to assist individuals engaged in criminal conduct to conceal the source of the proceeds of their criminal activities. Putting the charges in context. The defense states that to stop Bitcoin wallet providers from providing privacy and security services. Or to force them to police their customers as banks must. The government has not sought to change the law or even FinCEN guidance on it. It has prosecuted individuals operating a service they had every reason to believe was legal. And stretched to decorate the charges with decontextualized quotes that attempt to sketch out their agreement to criminal transactions. The government does not allege they knew about in advance or explicitly agreed to. So where does that leave us right that that's really the big question what does this all mean okay so a couple of things I think that um I think the government right like we some it's kind of strange because sometimes we make this assumption that that the government is dumber that we think and and other times we we also credit them with being

incredibly sly, manipulative, uh, calculative, and, uh, sorry, calculating, and um, how could I say this, like to be like architects of like a grand scheme. So, somehow, the government is like incompetent to enough that it can't figure out, but at the same time, it also runs the biggest puppet show. So, or is part of the biggest puppet show. It's like we can't have it both ways, okay, uh, or maybe we can't. I don't know, but I can say this, okay. I could say that essentially, I believe that this, what we're seeing right now, okay, this is just part of the show. I still have this sinking feeling that Samurai was this honey pot, okay, to essentially try to find criminals and, and essentially just be able to monitor them for as long as possible. Uh, I, I don't believe that it had any other use. And, again, I, um, I'm not saying necessarily that both the founders, um, in any way are part of like, you know, some government organization or, or whatever it is. I, I

don't have any evidence to support that um in any way, but what I can say is that essentially right, the people who did facilitate what is determined to be criminal activity through the use of the Samurai World pool product um, they've leaked data to Samurai wallet um. If they didn't set up their own Whirlpool instance right um, and unfortunately now government agencies have access to that data, and whether or not these people are guilty um in the end, this data is now the government's possession. So, I to me, I almost, I genuinely feel like this was the plan all along um. I I can't help but think that way. I I understand that that's like, you know, probably extreme conspiratorial right, because it it it would assume that that was like this grand plan all along, but also at the same time, we could argue that that's something that just simply came about right, where essentially this service, you know, they they started providing their apps and they started providing their services, and and it was going fine, and then all

of a sudden right the government agencies started to take notice of it, and they knew full well that they didn't have a leg to stand on when they arrested um the founders of Samurai wallet right. I I I believe they knew that they didn't have a like to stand on, but it doesn't matter, it makes no difference. Like I think that this is what people don't understand, like when it comes to the legal system, once you're once you're dragged into this show, it doesn't make a difference anymore, that's it, you're in the system, they it's it's like they win anyways. Um, obviously like I'm I'm not saying this is over, this is far from over, um, but look, uh, I I do think that you know this development is good, uh, for the samurai wallet devs. I I do think that they're making strong points. I mean, uh, one of the points that they did make that their lawyers made was essentially um, you know, being able to arrest apple right for every single MacBook user that ever

committed a crime with a MacBook. I mean, this is, again, right? Like, so at this point, so what's going to happen, right? Are we going to start suing the people, like the miners out there who are mining metals that are then these metals are being made into weapons, and these weapons are being used to hurt people? Like, it, this is really, really strange, and in my eyes, it almost seems again by design in order to create these layers of abstraction from personal responsibility. Right, the further and further we abstract these layers from personal responsibility, the more foreign all of this becomes, and the more, I guess, dependent on the state, people feel comfortable with. Anyways, yeah, guys, the Samurai wallet thing, we are going to continue to cover it. I've made a playlist now on our channel so that essentially every single Samurai update that I'm going to do, I'm going to put in there. I also made a Tornado Cash video a really long, long time ago, like when that first happened, right, because the

tornado cash which again tornado cash is a mixing that was different. That was a mixing service, a centralized mixing service, whereas Samurai wallet was, is a collaborative, was a collaborative spend, okay, which is different. Um, but still, but still, it's an attack on privacy any way I look at it. I, I don't really care, you know, like that's an attack on privacy. And you know, to me, that is an attack. An attack on privacy is an attack on personal freedom. So, yeah, got this playlist going to be adding these videos to that guys. That does it for today. Sorry, we don't have our usual, our usual weekly episode, uh, with the guest, but have no fear. Next week, um, we will have our weekly episode. And I've got a very special guest that is going to be explaining to us how essentially Bitcoin fixed voting in his country. Anyways, guys, have a good one. Catch you on the next one. [Music]

사무라이 월렛 설립자 체포 관련 업데이트

미국 정부는 사무라이 지갑의 창립자 중 한 명인 윌리엄 이오니안 힐을 보석으로 석방하기로 합의했습니다.

힐의 변호인은 포르투갈 리스본에 있는 자택으로 석방을 요청하고 있으며, 미국 정부는 브루클린에 있는 여동생의 지하실로 석방하는 것을 지지하고 있습니다.

검찰의 법 해석 변경은 상당한 논란을 불러일으키며 여러 상원의원들의 비판으로 이어졌습니다.

사무라이 월렛의 적법성과 구글의 개입

핀센의 지침은 사무라이와 같은 P2P 앱은 송금 서비스로 간주되지 않는다는 점을 오랫동안 명확히 해왔습니다.

힐의 변호인은 이 앱이 9년 동안 공개적으로 제공되었다는 점을 강조하며 합법적인 것으로 간주한다고 주장합니다.

구글이 사무라이 지갑을 제공하는 데 관여한 것은 이 앱에 대한 정부의 입장에 의문을 제기합니다.

변호인단은 정부가 기존 법률이나 지침을 변경하려는 노력 없이 합법적이라고 믿었던 서비스를 운영했다는 이유로 개인을 기소하고 있다고 주장합니다.

사무라이 월렛의 진정한 목적에 대한 의혹

발표자는 사무라이 월렛이 정부 기관과 협력하여 범죄자를 감시하고 잡기 위한 함정으로 설계된 것으로 추정하고 있습니다.

사무라이 월드 풀 상품을 사용하는 범죄자들의 데이터가 정부에 유출된 것으로 추정되며, 이것이 처음부터 계획된 것이 아니냐는 의혹이 제기되고 있습니다.

발표자는 자신의 믿음이 음모론으로 들릴 수 있다는 점을 인정하지만, 이것이 지갑의 진정한 목적이었다고 강하게 믿고 있습니다.

사무라이 월렛 설립자들의 법적 분쟁

정부 기관은 혐의의 정당성에 대한 의구심에도 불구하고 사무라이 지갑의 창립자를 체포하여 법적 분쟁을 야기했습니다.

이번 체포로 인해 사무라이 지갑 개발자들의 개인적 책임과 법적 시스템에 대한 의문이 제기되고 있으며, 사무라이 지갑 개발자들은 계속해서 자신들의 주장을 펼치고 있습니다.

이러한 상황은 창립자의 변호와 관련 법적 상황에 초점을 맞춘 지속적인 보도와 업데이트를 촉발시켰습니다.

토네이도 캐시와 사무라이 월렛의 차이점

토네이도 캐시는 중앙 집중식 혼합 서비스이고 사무라이 월렛은 공동 지출로, 둘 다 프라이버시에 영향을 미칩니다.

프라이버시에 대한 공격은 개인의 자유에 대한 공격으로 간주되며, 다음 에피소드에서는 비트코인이 자국의 투표를 어떻게 수정했는지에 대해 게스트와 함께 논의할 예정입니다.
