I'm not sure what is laughable about the amount of users. It would depend on the list of users, not the amount of them.

When will the Russian Billionaires have enough of Putin

SWIFT has over "11,000 SWIFT customers in more than 200 countries use our network to exchange millions of standardised financial messages securely and reliably every day."
And over 6.5+ Billion messages. These Russian clowns are bragging about "2 million messages monthly".

They just went active. How long has SWIFT been used?
Looks like they are making this about politics to go after Abramovich. He was not sanctioned by the US or Europe. He sold some of his real estate probably, to protect himself. The fact that he was selling the team and giving the proceeds to benefit Ukraine citizens, people should be congratulating him and giving him a pat on the back. He did not have to give anyone any monies. That is lost in the mob of idiots.
As noted in the article:
- "Although the SPFS has existed for over six years now, it was restricted to domestic bank users".
- "Over 20 Belarusian banks, the Armenian Arshidbank, and the Kyrgyz Bank of Asia joined it."
- "The only problem is that not many countries’ banks would want to join SPFS for multiple reasons. Firstly, the possibility of getting kicked off SWIFT would handicap their reach."
- "Secondly, SPFS doesn’t have a lot of mainstream international banks. Even its supporter China is yet to join SPFS. Thus this limitation would also limit their capabilities."
Active, GWB. Try to read what I wrote. Its existed for 6 years, but only went active internationally recently.
Active with Belarusian banks for about a year.
Do you really think that any nation currently on SWIFT will join SPFS knowing it will immediately get them kicked off SWIFT due to sanctions?
Not many. But that isn't the point I was making. I was responding to your ridiculous "LOL 399" comment. Its not ridiculous when it just began.
Welcome to impending martial law in Russia...
Russian citizens reportedly flee country over fears of Putin's martial law announcement
https://www.foxnews.com/world/russi...over-fears-of-putins-martial-law-announcement
Russian citizens have reportedly started to flee the country ahead of President Vladimir Putin’s rumored announcement of martial law.
Earlier this week, Russia’s official censorship body issued guidance telling news networks to use only "trusted" sources under penalty of closure, which led to the shutdown of two independent news networks, including Dozhd TV – known in English as Rain TV.
Tikhon Dzyadko, the overnight chief editor of Dozhd, wrote on Telegram on Mar. 2 that he was fleeing the country over fear for his life, saying that it is "obvious that the personal safety of some of us is now under threat."
And Russian citizens have broadly started to panic as the Duma, Russia’s governing body, meets Thursday to lay out new legislation that may allow it to conscript anyone arrested for protesting the invasion – a number that stood at over 8000 as of Thursday evening, according to independent watchdog OVD-info.
Kevin Rothrock of Bellingcat tweeted out the legislation has already been introduced to the Duma.
The crackdown on press has spooked even foreign reporters: Alec Luhn, who has reported on the ground in Russia for VICE wrote on social media that he was heading for the border along with so many people that plane tickets are "mostly sold out" and flights are "packed."
"Other passengers said they were afraid to be trapped in Russia, arrested or conscripted to fight a war they don’t support," Luhn wrote. "Don’t know if they’ll be able to return."
Julia Ioff of Puck News said a friend from Moscow was driving "all night" for the border since no plane tickets remained.
"We’re trying to get there before the president’s address to the nation," the friend said. Ioffe claimed the friend asked her to stop texting so they could scrub their phone for a search at the border.
