US Threatens Crypto Exchanges, Financial Institutions Aiding Russia

The U.S. will personally hold accountable any cryptocurrency exchange, financial institution or individual who helps Russia get around sanctions, according to a report by CNBC.

"What we want to make very clear to crypto exchanges, to financial institutions, to individuals, to anyone who may be in a position to help Russia take advantage and evade our sanctions: We will hold you accountable," Wally Adeyemo, deputy U.S. Treasury secretary, said in the report. "We will come and we will find you."
