PANews reported on April 15 that according to Decrypt, the two Estonian founders of the bankrupt crypto mining company HashFlare, Sergei Potapenko and Ivan Turõgin, stated that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) ordered them to leave "immediately", otherwise they would face law enforcement action. This contradicts the court's order for them to remain in King County, Washington. Lawyers said that DHS sent identical emails to both individuals on April 6 and April 11. Currently, the prosecution is trying to coordinate with DHS to extend their stay in the United States. The two have previously pleaded guilty and agreed to forfeit $400 million in assets, with sentencing scheduled for August 14.
