Original: Binance gave Russia data on IT worker jailed 13 years for $700 Ukraine donation
Russian IT specialist Yuri Belenky has been sentenced to 13 years in prison over a roughly $700 cryptocurrency donation to Ukraine's armed forces. According to Meduza, Russian authorities were able to identify him after the Binance exchange provided his personal data. The case has drawn attention to how crypto platforms' cooperation with Russian law enforcement can be used in treason-related prosecutions of ordinary users.
Why now: Readers are alarmed that a major crypto exchange's data sharing reportedly led to a harsh 13-year sentence for a small wartime donation.
