U.S. President Donald Trump said he’ll review pardoning Keonne Rodriguez, co-founder and CEO of privacy-focused Bitcoin wallet Samourai. “I’ve heard about it, I’ll look at it,” Trump stated during a Monday Oval Office Q&A with journalists. Rodriguez was sentenced last month to five years for running a mixer that laundered over $237 million in illicit funds, sparking crypto privacy debates. This follows Trump’s pardons of figures like Ross Ulbricht.
