Dear Keonne's family and supporters, We, as the Free Samourai Crypto community, have donated 1k over the past week. We would love to continue donating. However, since our community mainly operates on Solana, we kindly ask if you could create a Solana wallet for donations. 💗 Thank you so much. This would help us a lot! #FreeSamourai @leamuirleyn @GlobalWarnings @gofreesamourai @keonne @SamouraiDev

Come hang with me on tonight’s livestream of @LibertyLibation starting in about 20minutes! rumble.com/v7c5ce8-govern…
The US DOJ has arrested pioneers in #Bitcoin privacy technology. Privacy stands as a core value of Bitcoin. Mixing itself is not a crime. Even crypto exchanges use mixing to safeguard user privacy. It's like punishing the inventor of the knife instead of the one who uses it.
I am watching the reposts and likes come in, and my heart is so full right now. 🧡 Thank you all for standing with my family and refusing to let my son, Keonne, be forgotten. Every single share brings us closer to a pardon. Let's keep pushing! 🙏#FreeKeonne
The Department of "Justice" has once again criminalized the developers of an app that restores financial privacy. The way to fix this it to make money private by default. Privacy must never be "exceptional," or they will make it criminal.
Two years ago today, the developers behind Samourai Wallet were arrested for building open-source privacy software. They wrote code that lets people transact privately with bitcoin. The government called it money laundering. This case set a precedent that should concern every developer writing freedom tools. Never forget.

Update: The request for furlough has been denied.
I am writing from FPC Morgantown prison in West Virginia. It has been about 5 months since I first surrendered myself in December, and I will be honest, the prospect of a Presidential pardon is very low. There was some hope during the Bitcoin 2026 conference, but that has now come and gone, and one must come to terms with the fact that I am simply a federal prisoner without money, power, or influence, and I will serve my full sentence. It will be years before I can even attempt to rebuild my life. Which is why I am now writing this appeal to you all now. Things are dire and we need your help. Lauren and I need your help desperately. More than ever before. We have over $2 Million of debt due to legal fees. We have a $250k fine the judge levied against us. Every day I get letters and calls from anxious lawyers looking to be paid. Or the DOJ demanding I start making payments on my fine. Perhaps it was denial or delusion, but I had hoped to do what I have always done and dig myself out of this hole myself - but with the reality of serving a full sentence that is not possible. I hate to ask for your help in this way but we are entirely out of options. We need to pay off these legal bills and other debts accrued attempting to defend myself. We desperately need your help. Now. For 10 years Bill and I built and published open source code and tools for Bitcoin users. Those same tools and code are what the government says were criminal. The tools and code still exist, they are out there right now and always will be. The creators however are locked away in Federal prison. The creators are the ones whose lives have been decimated. The creators are the ones who have been financially wiped out. The creators are the ones who desperately need you now. Please donate whatever you can to bc1qtjjcvn98wh7dfd55m8kxhjcfexanttwt8gtan8 . We have to get this albatross from around our neck. Samourai had well over 100,000 users. These users pushed over 2 billion dollars through our open source tools. We need those users and any bitcoiner who appreciates the work that we put into this industry for over a decade to help us now. Please donate whatever you can to bc1qtjjcvn98wh7dfd55m8kxhjcfexanttwt8gtan8 right now. If you require a private address please DM my wife @leamuirleyn and she will provide one. Please do not delay. Time is of the essence. Please help us. - Keonne
