Crypto and Sanctions Circumvention
Q: What should bankers and policymakers take away from Elise's discoveries about A7?
Bankers should look for suspicious payments and signs of money laundering linked to A7, while policymakers must maintain attention on A7's operations and raise awareness about its illicit activities.
Crypto and Sanctions Circumvention
Q: What role does Promsphere's Bank play in this whole story?
Promsphere's Bank is central to the creation of A7, providing capital and supporting its operations, while also having a history of involvement in political influence schemes and sanctions evasion efforts.
Crypto and Sanctions Circumvention
Q: So how did the launch of A7A5 accelerate Russia's ability to evade sanctions?
