They have been US company long before the war. You are just saying they are affiliated with Russia just because they have many Russian employees? That's right?

- millzlane 4y agoWasn't the company started by a Native Russian? I remember the kickstarter. https://www.linkedin.com/in/zhovner https://www.linkedin.com/in/zhovner
- James_Kirk 4y agoSo was Google by Sergey Brin, who was born in Russia, so what? :)
- millzlane 4y agoHe was not a Russian citizen living in Russia during that time. So there is a huge difference.
- James_Kirk 4y agoSo what's your point then? Everything made by a Russian is bad or what? :)
- nora-puchreiner 4y agoFlipperzero could have shown more Ukrainians than Russians, but... America could side with the Russians in the conflict and discount the Ukrainians. so "Everything made by Americans are bad and unreliable for foreign users"
- ergocoder 4y agoIt's a US sanction. Yes, it would be bad for the employee who makes the decision that this account isn't within the sanction's scope. If US government disagrees, the employee will likely go to jail. It's expected for companies to overdo the sanction considering that under-doing could get employees a long jail time. Plus, Paypal employees get paid the same whether or not Flipper Zero is within the sanction's scope.
- James_Kirk 4y agoUS sanction against what? Against USA company? Do you know how sanctions work? What kind of sanction is being violated in your opinion?
- ergocoder 4y agoAre these rhetorical or you genuinely don't know? > What kind of sanction is being violated in your opinion? You are missing the main point. What if you are an employee and make a wrong judgement call? The punishment is you going to jail for a long time. It is safer to overdo the sanction. You don't get paid more either way, and there is no chance of you going to jail.
- COMMENT___ 4y agoAre there any official sanctions that affect non-Russian companies with Russian-born founders and employees?
- nibbleshifter 4y agoA handful of specifically named entities, and that's about it.
- ergocoder 4y agoSanction is usually a bit vague. What I think happens is that an employee from Russia accessed PayPal dashboard. What should you do? If you are an employee, would you risk a jail time for this? The answer would be a huge no.

- margiani 4y agoNope, Pavel is Ukrainian from Odessa region. He's Odessa National Polytechnic University alumnus, you can see it in his LinkedIn Profile.
- justsomehnguy 4y ago> You are just saying they are affiliated with Russia And where did I said that?
- James_Kirk 4y agoSorry, I misinterpreted your message
- Anon659 4y agoNo, because they have an office in Moscow and the money ends up going to Russia.
