Russia?
- freehunter 12y agoDoesn't the US still have an embargo on Russia for the whole Ukraine thing? I find Cuba to be interesting. I thought we ended that embargo in December.
- mkr-hn 12y agoThey might have finalized the copy before that.
- mikestew 12y agoThe embargo might have ended, but perhaps all of the details are not yet in place to make it practical. Customs forms need to be reprinted (whether paper or electronic). Are UPS and other carriers ready to go? And so on. An entire generation of US businesses and people have never done business with Cuba, that isn't going to change overnight...or even in a few months. Or maybe the Pebble founders just don't like Fidel.
- gerbal 12y agoThe Cuba embargo has not been lifted, restrictions have just been loosened a bit.
- DiabloD3 12y agoA lot of scams come from Russia due to their lax enforcement of laws when the victim is out of the country.
- uniformlyrandom 12y agoWell, they are shipping to North Korea. A new gadget for Dear Leader, to crush the imperialists!
