đ US prosecutors are investigating Jack Dorsey's Block for allegedly processing transactions linked to sanctioned countries and potentially terrorist activities. đ˛
⢠A former employee claims Block failed to report transactions, including Bitcoin ones, to the government as required.
⢠The company also allegedly didn't fix processes when alerted to these breaches.
⢠The ex-employee also criticized Block's compliance department, calling it fundamentally flawed.
But Block's not backing down. đĄď¸
⢠The company says its legal team and consultants are advising on the issue and appropriate remediation.
⢠It's also already conducting regular sanctions screenings on all its merchants.
