Updates from the Samourai Wallet hearing:
December 17th has been set for the hearing of pretrial motions.
Motions will include a defense motion to dismiss on the basis of what Hill's lawyer described as "extraordinarily unusual" facts of the case.
The defense plans to argue that even if all claims made in the initial indictment were true, they would not "meet the bar for the charge," and that "this is not how Congress intended the [money laundering] statutes to be used."
Prosecutors said they had seized 44 electronic devices from Rodriguez, but had only been able to access access and extract the contents of 15 of those devices. Of 27 devices seized from Hill, 25 have been accessed and extracted.
According to the Defense, the full contents of discovery, including business records and social media archives, amounted to as much data as 75% of the entire Library of Congress. If printed out and stacked, the documents would extend from Earth to the Moon and back, 22 times.
The court will resume shortly and hear arguments about the conditions of Rodriguez' bail.
