Samourai Co-Founder Writes From Prison After Surrender: ‘Confusing And Unnatural’

Keonne Rodriguez, co-founder of Bitcoin privacy tool Samourai Wallet, has written a letter from a US federal prison after beginning a five-year sentence. Dated Christmas Eve, the letter describes the intake process and his initial days behind bars as "confusing and unnatural" but manageable, noting respectful treatment from fellow inmates. Rodriguez was sentenced on November 19 for charges related to his role in a crypto mixing protocol. His case has sparked a significant legal and ethical debate over whether developers of privacy software can be held criminally liable for misuse by others. This mirrors concerns in the prosecution of Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm, raising questions about the legal treatment of open-source code. Supporters argue the case threatens free speech and software development, with a clemency petition gathering over 12,000 signatures. They claim no direct victims were harmed by his work. Prosecutors, however, contend that the tools were structured and promoted in ways that enabled illicit transactions. US President Donald Trump has acknowledged he will "take a look" at the case, keeping the possibility of a pardon in public discourse. The situation highlights the ongoing tension between neutral technology and its potential for criminal use, drawing attention from developers, legal experts, and privacy advocates.

Former Alameda CEO Caroline Ellison Could Be Free by January 2026 as FTX Case Enters Final Phase

Former Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison is set for early release, with updated federal records indicating she could be freed by January 21, 2026. Ellison, who was sentenced to two years in prison in September 2024 after pleading guilty to multiple fraud charges, has served approximately 14 months in custody. Her cooperation with prosecutors was instrumental in convicting FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried and other executives. Ellison was transferred to a community confinement program in October 2025, a step often reserved for inmates nearing release. Early release is attributed to good behavior credits and programs under the First Step Act. Following her release, Ellison will face three years of supervised release and a ten-year ban from serving as an officer or director of any public company or crypto exchange.

Federal Prison No More: FTX’s Caroline Ellison Now In Community Confinement

Caroline Ellison, former CEO of Alameda Research and a key witness in the FTX case, was transferred from federal prison to community confinement on October 16, 2025, after serving approximately 11 months of a two-year sentence. Her early release is projected for February 20, 2026. The Bureau of Prisons moved her to either home confinement or a halfway house but did not disclose specific details. Ellison pleaded guilty in 2022 to charges related to FTX's $11 billion collapse and cooperated as a central witness against founder Sam Bankman-Fried, who received a 25-year sentence. The transfer follows standard procedures and has drawn renewed attention to sentencing outcomes for cooperating defendants.

Do Kwon Sentenced to 15 Years in Prison for $40 Billion Terra Crypto Project Collapse

Do Kwon, co-founder of Terraform Labs, has been sentenced to 15 years in prison in the United States for fraud related to the 2022 collapse of the TerraUSD (UST) and LUNA tokens. The crash of the Terra ecosystem, which he developed, resulted in an estimated $40-60 billion in losses for the crypto community, stemming from both the token devaluation and the failure of associated services like Anchor. Kwon, who initially blamed the collapse on actions by third-party traders, faced nine charges including fraud, market manipulation, and money laundering. After his 2024 arrest in Montenegro with fake travel documents, he was extradited to the U.S. and later pleaded guilty to two charges. While prosecutors sought a 12-year sentence and his defense argued for five, the judge deemed the defense's request "utterly unreasonable." The judge emphasized the "staggering" scale of the fraud, the number of victims, and Kwon's attempts to flee justice. He also condemned Kwon's "despicable" behavior for publicly advising retail investors to keep investing while he and his associates privately withdrew their funds. Kwon's sentence will be reduced by the 17 months he already served in a Montenegrin prison. He may also be eligible for transfer to South Korea after serving half of his term and faces potential asset forfeiture of $19 million.

Terraform Co-Founder Receives 15-Years Prison Sentence

Terraform Labs co-founder Do Kwon has been sentenced to 15 years in prison after pleading guilty to wire fraud and conspiracy. His criminal actions were central to the 2022 crypto market crash, which erased nearly $40 billion in market value. The judge considered victim impact statements, including one individual who became homeless after losing $81,000. The sentence was deemed necessary due to the severity and deliberate nature of the fraud. Kwon expressed remorse and may serve part of his sentence in South Korea, where he could face additional charges. His case is compared to other high-profile crypto fraud sentences.

Do Kwon Sentenced to 15 Years in Prison, Crypto's Prison All-Stars Welcome Another Heavyweight Guest

Do Kwon, co-founder of Terraform Labs, has been sentenced to 15 years in prison by a U.S. federal court. The ruling follows his extradition from Montenegro and guilty plea to charges of conspiracy fraud and wire fraud. Kwon was the mastermind behind Terra (LUNA) and its algorithmic stablecoin UST, which collapsed dramatically in May 2022, erasing tens of billions in market value and triggering a prolonged crypto market downturn. The failure of Terra’s “algorithmic” mechanism—which lacked sufficient collateral—led to widespread investor losses, with reports of tragic outcomes including suicides. After the collapse, Kwon fled South Korea and evaded international authorities using forged documents before eventually being captured in Montenegro in March 2023. He was later extradited to the U.S. in late 2024. Prosecutors had sought a 12-year sentence, while Kwon’s defense argued for five years. The judge, however, imposed a stricter sentence, citing the unprecedented scale of fraud, Kwon’s attempt to evade justice, and the need for deterrence. Kwon now joins other high-profile convicted crypto figures like SBF and Alex Mashinsky, marking a symbolic end to an era of reckless expansion and fraud in the industry.

Terraform co-founder sentenced to 15 years in prison after guilty plea

Terraform Labs co-founder Do Kwon has been sentenced to 15 years in prison by a U.S. court after pleading guilty to wire fraud and conspiracy. The collapse of Terraform in 2022 wiped out an estimated $40 billion from the crypto market. Judge Paul Engelmayer called the fraud "unusually serious," stating that Kwon "publicly lied to the market" for years. Kwon expressed remorse and requested to serve his sentence in South Korea, where he may face additional charges and up to 40 more years in prison. Approximately 16,500 victims were affected, with several testifying about severe financial losses during the sentencing. Kwon is the latest high-profile crypto executive to be convicted, following cases like FTX's Sam Bankman-Fried and Celsius' Alex Mashinsky.
