Summary
Lauren Rodriguez joins Mark Edge at the Libertarian National Convention to share the story of her husband Keonne Rodriguez and William "Bill" Lonergan Hill, creators of Samourai Wallet. In April 2024, both men were raided by the FBI and charged with money laundering and operating an unlicensed money service business — despite FinCEN confirming the wallet was not in violation. After a judge denied every motion, they were left with no choice but to accept a plea deal. Keonne is now serving 5 years and Bill 4 years in federal prison. Visit BillandKeonne.org to sign the petition for a presidential pardon and support their families. Sponsored by SALT Lending.
