U.S. prosecutors did not liquidate digital assets forfeited by Samourai Wallet developers, according to the White House's top crypto advisor.
Senior FinCEN employees told prosecutors that non-custodial protocols might not qualify as money services businesses in an August, 2023 call.
The seizure of the Samourai Wallet website and the indictment of its founders might have implications for other privacy-preserving self-custodial tools.
