Which country? Both have conscription.

I know. If I didn't pay my taxes I'd eventually get arrested. This is the wartime version of that. He refused to cooperate with conscription and unsurprisingly got arrested. Other people are risking their lives to keep him safe – the onus is on him to do his part too. Probably best I don't say more details at this point. But in general, crypto tech people keep on getting themselves in trouble with this because they're selfish idiots. Of course, if he were Russian it'd be an entirely opposite situation. All Russians have a moral ditu to evade their government, e.g. by leaving Russia, or sabotage. Paying Russian taxes and contributing to their economy is a deeply evil act.

Suffice to say if the dev was Russian, I'd saying so very loudly... I'll respect their wishes not to make it explicitly public. But I'm sure you can guess.
