Payment From Kolo💚 Denied Because I Posted GM Post With a Photo From "sanctioned country"? I am making this public because I believe contributors deserve transparency, and fair treatment. I completed work for Kolo and expected to receive a reward of approximately $150–200. Instead, my payment was delayed for more than a month. During that time, nobody informed me of any problem, violation, investigation, or compliance concern. The issue only surfaced after I repeatedly asked why my payment had not been processed. The explanation I eventually received was that my reward would not be paid because I had allegedly visited a “sanctioned country.” For context: 🔹️I am a Croatian citizen 🔹️Croatia is not a sanctioned jurisdiction 🔹️My visit to Moscow was a short personal trip lasting only a few days 🔹️I was not there for business, politics, activism, or promotion of any government 🔹️My account contains crypto content and sometimes ordinary travel content 🔹️The only "Russia-related" content I posted consisted of few neutral city/landscape photographs for GM posts. At no point was I warned that personal travel to a particular country could result in the loss of earned rewards. At no point was I shown a written policy stating that contributors who visit certain locations, even privately and temporarily, become ineligible for payment. What makes this situation even more difficult to understand is that Kolo itself operates through an international corporate structure that includes entities in jurisdictions such as the UAE and Kazakhstan. Both countries have maintained significantly different approaches toward Russia than many Western governments and have continued various forms of economic and commercial interaction throughout the conflict. That does not mean those jurisdictions have done anything wrong. It does, however, make it difficult to understand why I can be denied payment for a short private visit and while the company itself operates through jurisdictions that maintain far more extensive relationships with Russia than an individual tourist ever could. To be clear, this is not a political statement. This is a payment dispute and a transparency issue. I completed the requested work. I waited more than a month for payment. I was never informed of any problem beforehand. Only after asking for an explanation was I told that a short personal trip and neutral travel photographs were apparently sufficient grounds to withhold my reward. I would also welcome a public response from Pavlo Luchkovskyi , CEO of Kolo, regarding the policy that was used to deny payment in this case. Specifically: 1. Where is this policy published? 2. If such a rule exists, why was it not disclosed before the work was completed? 3. Why was payment delayed for more than a month before any explanation was provided? 4. How does the company justify this standard given its own international operating structure? Until those questions are answered, this decision appears arbitrary, inconsistently applied, and fundamentally ridiculous.
