Man arrested by Russian Federal Security Service for allegedly sending cryptocurrency to Ukrainian military

Mars Finance News, according to Russia's Izvestia, on the streets of the Russian Far Eastern city of Komsomolsk-on-Amur, an unidentified Russian man was arrested on suspicion of treason for sending cryptocurrencies to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. These cryptocurrencies were sent to the Ukrainian military for the purpose of "buying weapons, ammunition and uniforms." Russia's top intelligence agency, the Federal Security Service (FSB), shared a video of the arrest on Wednesday. The screen depicts several agents rushing out of the car and pressing the man to the ground with his hands behind his back, and then he was handcuffed, detained and interviewed. It is unclear what punishment the man might receive if he is found guilty. However, two weeks ago, physicist Alexander Shiplyuk was sentenced to 15 years in prison for "treason". In 2017, Shiplyuk shared confidential information with German intelligence at an overseas meeting while participating in Russia's hypersonic missile program.
