The U.S. Department of Homeland Security requires HashFlare's founder to leave the country, contradicting a court order

ChainCatcher news, according to Decrypt, the Estonian co-founders of the cryptocurrency mining company HashFlare, Sergei Potapenko and Ivan Turõgin, received a notification from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) demanding that they "immediately" leave the United States or face enforcement action.

This directive directly conflicts with a court order requiring them to remain in King County, Washington. The two pleaded guilty in February this year, admitting to fraud through false cryptocurrency mining contracts and agreeing to forfeit approximately $400 million in assets.
