Russian-British Dual National Charged in Crypto Funding Scandal: Pro-Russian Militias in Ukraine Linked

Crypto's dark side emerges as a Russian-British dual national faces charges for funneling digital assets to pro-Russian militias in Ukraine. The case highlights the double-edged sword of decentralized finance—where anonymity cuts both ways.
The Charges:
Authorities allege the individual exploited crypto's borderless nature to bypass traditional financial oversight. No exact figures disclosed, but the transactions reportedly funded armed groups destabilizing Ukraine.
Finance Jab:
Meanwhile, Wall Street still can't decide if crypto is a hedge against inflation or just a hedge fund piñata.
Why It Matters:
This isn't just about one bad actor. It's a stress test for crypto regulation—and a reminder that pseudonymity isn't immunity.
