Cryptocurrency exchange Garantex lives on despite sanctions, new report unveils - ICIJ
The ostensibly shuttered exchange continues to operate through Telegram-based services that facilitate crossborder payments, according to Transparency International Russia (in exile).
Researchers from Transparency International Russia posed as a fake Hong Kong-based electronics exporter to learn how the Garantex crypto exchange continues to flourish in the shadows through Exved, a cross-border payment processing platform.

Pretty clear Stephen Miller, Noem, Hegseth and Trump are trying to provoke a Civil War at this point. What's interesting is they want to do it now, because even though they're unpopular, they seem to believe this is the most popular they'll be ever again. We can't let them win.

Trump's told this lie this for years, but the book simply mentioned Clinton's attempt to kill bin Laden in 1998. And the author who actually wrote that entire book for Trump, Dave Shiflett, told me recently: "My understanding is that Trump neither writes nor reads his books."
