Might be interesting, but looking up his name (Keonne Rodriguez) for a Wikipedia article gave me what I wanted to know:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keonne_Rodriguez

I’ll just paste the current summary here for anyone, but the full article is short and worth a read:

Keonne Rodriguez is an American software developer and co-founder of Samourai Wallet, a Bitcoin wallet designed to enhance transaction privacy for Bitcoin users. In 2024, Rodriguez and fellow co-founder William Lonergan Hill were arrested and later plead guilty to operating an unlicensed money-transmitting business for creating the software for the application. His prosecution drew criticism from privacy advocates and civil liberties groups, who argued that the case threatened financial privacy, open source development, and the principle of code as speech.
