So Russia invades Ukraine.
It's how is Russia going to use crypto to evade sanctions?
Hamas attacked Israel on October 7th.
It was how is Hamas funding its operations using crypto?
And this is the most recent example.

They basically were using these two exchanges to launder a billion dollars through them.
