The CEO of Russian bank Sberbank has reportedly
admitted to owning a "small amount of bitcoin", after an official from the country said an upcoming 'BitRuble' project was "illegal".
German Greft, the former Minister of Economic Development and Trade of the Russian Federation made the comment at Finnopolis 2015 – a FinTech conference – and noted how he had also fallen victim to the digital currency's volatility.
Speaking at the event, Gref said:
"I am one of the victims, I have a small amount of bitcoins ... Only one currency in the world has devalued more than the ruble – bitcoin."
