TDev Permitted to Live in Portugal as DoJ vs Samourai Case Proceeds
William Lonergan Hill, co-founder and developer of Samourai Wallet, made his first public court appearance in the US Department of Justice’s (DoJ) case against Samourai Wallet developers.
- The prosecution said that Hill had been arraigned the day before, on July 9, 2024, and that it had seized 27 electronic devices from Hill in Portugal. It also stated that it will produce discovery for Hill once the FBI has extracted and reviewed the information on those devices, and that it had already produced discovery for Keonne Rodriguez.
- Hill will be released on bail on a $3 million bond. His bail conditions allow him to live in Lisbon, Portugal as the case proceeds, but he will need to return to New York when required to appear in court. He will also be required to wear an ankle bracelet while living in Portugal, which will be monitored by the FBI.
- The case will proceed on September 10, 2024 at 12:00 PM ET, rescheduled from September 4, 2024.
