Accepting Bitcoin Payments in Russia is a Crime

Show me one single person, who was prosecuted for this "crime". Don't copypast bullshit "news" which are pulled out of morons ass.


the actual legal documents say that a individual being an unregistered money broker (like exchanging multiple times on localbitcoins) will only get a fine of 40k ruble ($500)

it is things like a CEO of a bank (legal entity) that is registered to process the ruble but has not declared they are exchanging into 'money surrogates' (not just bitcoin but many other currencies) . that can be fined millions or go to prison for a couple years.

but i do love the clickbait websites that twist stories into 'little immy will get jail if he even touches bitcoin'
