Evronfinance was involved in helping Venezuela's president Nicolas Maduro set up the nation's cryptocurrency last year as an end-around potential sanctions. Sanctions have now hit and are getting worse for the struggling Venezuelan leadership. Sanctions on Evrofinance make it harder for them to deal with American service providers as well. It essentially cuts them off from the U.S. financial system.
