USA v. Rodriguez

The DOJ charged the Co-founders of Samourai Wallet with knowing and intending for their app to be used for the transportation and transmission of criminal funds. The app did not require Identification and the “whirlpool” and “ricochet” features on the app allowed users to launder money and conceal the source of the transactions from law enforcement.

Creating and operating a product intending that it will be used for illicit activities may lead to liability.
