Arbitrators and p2pists are being detained en masse in Moscow
The reason for the raid in the capital was a case involving the theft of 26 million rubles from the accounts of the Marfo-Marinsky Monastery. On May 8, 26,433,509 rubles were written off from the organization’s bank account. After this, accountant Tatyana stopped communicating and sent the amount to telephone scammers. In addition to the nuns’ money, she gave them the 1.8 million she had borrowed.
Now the security forces are detaining all traders through whom the stolen money passed. Yes, they have nothing to do with the crime, but thanks to P2P they can become accomplices. The day before, 19-year-old student from Novosibirsk Andrei R. and several other people who were involved in Bybit were detained in Moscow. Exchange traders claim that they did not know about the origin of the money. There is not a single employee of the Bybit crypto exchange among those detained, although the media write the opposite.
Participants in the chain ended up in jail simply for purchasing cryptocurrency, and everyone associated with this money could seriously suffer. Among them, of course, there will be drops. To which now the natural question is: was the 10 thousand rubles (or even less) that they received for the bank cards given to the scammers worth it?
Every year the illegal gambling business becomes dirtier and more dangerous. And now, more than ever, there is a great chance to keep company in a pre-trial detention center with those detained “merely” for wanting to gamble in a low-grade illegal casino. Processing of payments from illegal casinos is moving to the countries of Central Asia and Africa, and the risk of becoming a participant in a dirty chain is becoming increasingly real for anyone who plays online roulette. Thus creating a roulette regarding your safety and freedom. Payment SHIELD has repeatedly warned that any cooperation with the gray market is dangerous, and the worst times have already come for drops. It is unknown how many honest people will suffer because of the theft in the monastery and how much money they will have to pay for lawyers.
