Do you think prosecution of Samurai devs will continue?

The intertwined cases signal a pivotal moment for the future of privacy-enhancing technologies within the blockchain space and the ongoing debate about developer liability for user actions."

It really is. I have to say that i didn't expect Keonne Rodriguez to get the maximum sentence of five years, i was expecting ~ 2 years in jail, but the verdict is five years. Really sad outcome for Keonne, and not just him, but every lover of privacy out there and developers who write code for self-custodial and privacy software. A dangerous precedent has been set and who knows who is next on their radar.

William Hill's sentencing is on November 19th, but is anyone in doubt what it will be. It would surely be five years, just as Keonne Rodriguez's.

I also think the sentence will be about the same. But considering the time before trial and the possibility of early release for good behavior, these people won't spend much time in prison.
