Samourai's Mixing Mayhem

Bitcoin faces a major legal challenge, as co-founders of Samourai, a non-custodial Bitcoin wallet with privacy features, were arrested on charges of money laundering. Prosecutors allege that the platform facilitated the laundering of over $100 million in proceeds from dark web markets. However, the Samourai software has no control over its users or their funds.
