Seems like a standard family syndicate-run foundation - money laundering accusations and all. I wonder why they are associating with the Bitcoin community, though. An easy win for critics to point to them and paint the entire field as criminals.
Also the continued business dealings in occupied Crimea is a hoot. If true, talk about the fake anti-Russia outrage. Only confirms the age old reality that economic interests trumps everything else. Don't tell Peter, though 😆
Not sure why they didn't just make a new foundation after this:
"Shortly after co-establishing ODF in 2009, founder Ivan Sherstyuk defrauded an investor of $100,000 in 2010 under the guise of opening a psychological center. After the victim reported the fraud to the Ukrainian authorities, Mr. Sherstyuk was convicted by Frankivskyi District Court of Lviv City for fraud as well as ordering the murder of the victim’s husband. ODF has claimed the foundation and its leadership ceased all contact with Mr. Sherstyuk in 2011."
Human rights, they say.

I see you guys live in the club of adoration: don’t provide any facts, jumping out from the initial topic of conversation because of lack what to say in defense of your position, and repeat endlessly old propaganda/nonsenses dismissed multiple courts in different jurisdictions.
So do you have evidences from Donbass, have you been there at the moment of Russian occupation? Let’s comeback to the discussion where you started.
There's no discussion about "positions" - frankly you people are very hard to talk to. Do you deny the west's involvment in the maydan chaos in 2014, their N-th violent regime change in recent history? If you do, I wish you the best, but your obvious propaganda is hilarious. Only npcs and useful idiots still fall for these kid stories.
You cannot rewrite history, the internet remembers it all. If you truly cared about human rights in the context of Bitcoin, you are free to donate to the many great and innovative FOSS projects in this space. Satoshi didn't give a shit about AML regulations - asking for permission is not how you free yourself from opressors.
Never forget who started this mess:
