Trump said he would "consider" pardoning the developers of the Bitcoin app Samourai.

ME News, December 16 (UTC+8), Monday – US President Trump stated that he is willing to consider pardoning Keonne Rodriguez, the convicted developer of the Samourai wallet, noting that he is aware of the case. Speaking to the media regarding Rodriguez's case, Trump said, "I've heard about this case, I'll take a look." Trump then told Attorney General Pam Bondi, who was also present, "We'll look into it, Pam." Bondi then appeared to write something down. Rodriguez was sentenced last month to five years in federal prison for his role in creating the Samourai wallet, a tool that allows Bitcoin users to ensure transaction privacy without transferring funds to third parties. He is scheduled to begin serving his sentence in federal prison this Friday. (Source: ME)
