    He did it, he found a good case for using crypto: evading US sanctions.

    This is really sad tho and fuck the US government for imprisoning someone just because they went to a country.

    Isn’t violating international sanctions the whole point of crypto? Cryptobros are always touting how their currency can’t be meddled with by a country’s government so now they should put their money where their mouth is.
