Samourai Wallet co-founder faces new transfer after 30-day ordeal
Keonne Rodriguez says he and 70 others face another move after their treatment program was deactivated. His previous transfer took 30 days.
Samourai Wallet co-founder Keonne Rodriguez faces another prison transfer, marking the beginning of a 30-day ordeal for him and 70 others. Their treatment program at FCI McKean was deactivated, according to Rodriguez who shared the news on X. The warden informed participants that he and 70 others would be moved to different facilities where treatment was still available.
Rodriguez described his initial journey from FPC Morgantown to McKean as the "absolute worst 30 days" of his life. He was unable to make the roughly four-hour trip himself and was instead shackled and handcuffed during the transfer from Morgantown to Oklahoma City. Once there, Rodriguez was housed with inmates from various security classifications and spent most of his time in a cell.
At one point, he even wondered if "all the circles of hell" were contained within the federal transfer facility. Rodriguez was serving a five-year sentence for conspiring to operate an unlicensed money-transmitting business and is alleged to have facilitated the transmission of over $237 million through Samourai Wallet.
