The establishment of sanctions by the Trump administration towards PDVSA, the state oil company in Venezuela, reportedly forced the hand of the government in the country to find alternative means of payment for crude oil. According to reports, more than $3 billion are missing from these payments that were brokered by Sunacrip, the national crypto watchdog. However, documents reviewed estimate that the hole might be closer to $20 billion. As a result of this, Oil Minister Tareck El Aissami stepped down and Sunacrip’s former chief, Joselit Ramirez, has been arrested as part of a corruption probe. Further, Sunacrip is enacting a nationwide bitcoin mining shutdown “while things calm down.”
