Prosecutors in the case against Samourai Wallet, a Bitcoin wallet provider, have stated that delays in disclosing FinCEN information do not constitute a violation of Brady v. Maryland, which requires prosecutors to disclose exculpatory evidence to defendants. The statement came as part of ongoing proceedings where the defense argued that crucial information related to FinCEN filings, which they claim would support their case, was not provided in a timely manner. The legal team for Samourai Wallet highlighted the significance of these disclosures in understanding the nature of the allegations and in building their defense. The prosecutors countered that the defense did not demonstrate how the delayed disclosures had affected their ability to prepare their case adequately. This matter has raised discussions regarding compliance obligations and the responsibilities of digital currency firms regarding regulatory disclosures and legal proceedings.
