Russia is planning to punish users of cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, saying anonymous, difficult to trace transactions help kidnappers and money launderers.

The Finance Ministry in Moscow plans to submit legislation next month that would punish those who use digital currencies with fines as high as 2.5 million rubles ($38,000) and jail sentences of up to seven years. As opponents criticize such regulations as futile in the face of the growing popularity of bitcoin, Russia joins countries including Bolivia, Iceland and Vietnam in taking steps to criminalize it.

Bitcoin can be used to finance the shadow economy and crimes, and this risk we cannot allow in the Russias financial system, which we are striving to make transparent and healthy, the press service of the central bank said in an e-mail.

What if a tourist is found to have some on their iPhone, are they at risk of going to jail for 7 years?
