BlockBeats news, on July 31, according to Decrypt, the two co-founders of the crypto tumbler service Samourai Wallet, Keonne Rodriguez and William Lonergan Hill, face up to 5 years in prison after admitting to conspiring to operate an unlicensed remittance business on Wednesday. As part of a plea agreement, the U.S. Department of Justice agreed to drop more serious Money Laundering charges — which could carry a maximum sentence of 20 years according to the DOJ's sentencing guidelines. The charges for illegal remittance operations carry a maximum sentence of 5 years. Both initially pleaded not guilty to the charges, but court documents show they have changed their plea to guilty.
