They’re Criminalizing Self-Custody.
We Have to Fight Back.
Caleb Wright is being prosecuted for moving his own crypto into a wallet he controls. If this stands, no one’s coins are safe.
What Happened?
A routine crypto withdrawal is being weaponized to set a dangerous precedent.
2018-2021
Tax Dispute Arises
Caleb Wright has an ongoing civil tax dispute with the IRS, a situation many Americans face.
February 2023
Routine Crypto Withdrawal
He moves his cryptocurrency from an exchange to a personal, self-custody wallet—a standard practice for security and a fundamental right.
September 2023
Federal Indictment
The government indicts Caleb, not for tax evasion, but for the act of moving his own funds, framing it as concealment to defraud the United States.
No Hiding. No Scam. Just Self-Custody.
Why This Affects You
This isn't just about one person. It's about a fundamental right. If they can do this to Caleb, they can do it to you.
Caleb is the test case. If prosecutors succeed here, it creates a playbook to target any crypto user they deem non-compliant.
A guilty verdict could legally equate self-custody with criminal concealment, giving the government unprecedented power over your assets.
The fundamental principle of 'Not Your Keys, Not Your Coins' is under attack. This fight is for the future of financial sovereignty.

"I never thought I'd be in this position. I followed the ethos of crypto: be your own bank. Now I'm facing years in prison for it. I can't fight this alone. Thank you for standing with me."- Caleb Wright

Understanding why self-custody is a right worth fighting for.
Self-custody means you, and only you, hold the private keys to your crypto. This gives you absolute control over your funds.
Holding crypto on an exchange means you are trusting a third party. Self-custody is the only way to achieve true, censorship-resistant ownership.
The right to hold your own assets without an intermediary is fundamental to financial freedom. This right is what is being threatened today.

"Casting ‘non-custodial wallets’ as illegitimate technology is not just misleading, it is a gross denial of the human right to property. Self-custody is guaranteed by Article 17 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution."
