Crypto Shock: Former Binance Bigwig and Blum Co-founder Cuffed in Moscow
Crypto Shock: Former Binance Bigwig and Blum Co-founder Cuffed in Moscow

Russian authorities nabbed a high-profile ex-Binance executive and Blum co-founder—just another day in crypto’s wild west. Charges remain unclear, but the timing reeks of regulatory theater.
Sources suggest the arrest may be linked to alleged sanctions evasion or unlicensed operations—because nothing says ’financial innovation’ like playing hide-and-seek with global watchdogs.
Meanwhile, Binance’s PR team spins faster than a DeFi yield farm. The exchange maintains this was a ’personal matter’ unrelated to operations—right after paying billions in fines for compliance failures.
Bonus jab: At least Russian prisons don’t charge gas fees.
