Binance handed Russian authorities data on jailed Ukraine donor
Original: Binance gave Russia data on IT worker jailed 13 years for $700 Ukraine donation
Russian IT specialist Yuri Belenko has been sentenced to 13 years in prison over a roughly $700 cryptocurrency donation to Ukraine's armed forces. According to Meduza, Binance provided Russian law enforcement with the user data that let investigators trace the transaction. The case is drawing attention to how crypto exchanges cooperate with Russian authorities and the risks of donating to Ukraine from inside Russia.
Why now: The severity of the 13-year sentence for a small donation, and Binance's role in identifying the donor, is sparking debate about exchange data-sharing with Russian authorities.
