Escape the Technocracy

Gabriel Custodiet speaks with Keonne Rodriguez, co-founder of the trendsetting Bitcoin wallet Samourai Wallet. Keonne was inexplicably arrested in a violent and oppressive military-style raid of his property in April of 2024. He was charged with the bizarre accusation of conspiracy to run an unlicensed money transmitter despite never transmitting money. Keonne tells his story and explains how he has been condemned to prison and stripped of his constitutional rights.

In this episode, I share a free excerpt from my premium newsletter covering two important updates: Watchman Privacy's strategic pivot toward the premium newsletter model due to ongoing free podcast monetization challenges, and the exposure of "M_Solidus," a plagiarist who has been stealing Watchman Privacy content while providing dangerous privacy advice to followers.

More detailed documentation about M_Solidus will be released in the coming weeks.
