The onus of the matter is that Internet entrepreneurs has been shortchanged by the rather rash policy.

Imagine a situation you have to pay double the exchange rate for the dollar, when paying for hosting services and the likes, and the same bank places half the value on the dollar funds on your domiciliary account.
