The volatility of RUB is not like BTC so you could change them all of this time and then buy BTC if you want.
Hence this post. I'm trying to buy BTC quickly in large amounts and transfer it. The USD/RUB volatility was a long term call since RUB was pretty volatile this year. We don't want to hodl BTC or anything.
And what's the reason that all of these methods didn't work? Did you get an explanation from banks or the law firm?
The banks don't really know. The international lawyers we spoke to said it could be one of a few hundred things and there's no way to tell. Most likely reasons being out of our control like unofficial sanctions, political climate and/or coronavirus related delays.
There are some other ways (few are the truth) to do it but if we don't know the reason for denial, I doubt that you will find someone to help you out with it.
Did you try to use a verified broker?
Could you tell me what you mean by a verified broker? We talked to a few Forex brokers based out of UK/EU suggested by mycurrencyexchange.com. They couldn't run away fast enough from the conversation as soon as they heard the word Russia.
