🔥🔥In Russia, you could go to jail for buying cryptocurrency!🔥🔥
Bitcoin trading in Russia could lead to a prison sentence.$BTC
💥On May 2, a bill was submitted to the State Duma that tightens the punishment for the transfer of electronic payment means, including regular bank cards.
💥Now you could end up in prison for up to 6 years even for a cryptocurrency transaction if it seems "unlawful" — and the interpretation of this word is very vague.
🧑⚖️ Lawyer Ignat Likhunov (Cartesius) on the YouTube channel ForkLog:
💥"Anyone who transferred a card or participated in the sale of crypto without a 'clear basis' could be in trouble.
📌 What this means:
From now on, even a simple transfer of crypto with payment to a card is potentially criminal
Maximum term: 3 years — for a 'drop', 6 years — for a 'drop leader' or trader
Trading crypto without cash could become dangerous
😳 Ironically, according to Likhunov, instead of drug addicts, cryptocurrency traders may now sit in prison.
Since 2022, he himself has refused to make transfers to a card and works only in cash.
🔥 If the law is passed, the Russian crypto market is awaiting a new era — an era of fear and cash.
