Proceeds from the sale of products is used entirely for Wikileaks operations.<\/p>\n<p>According to a tweet posted by the Wikileaks Shop, Coinbase has resorted to closing its account as part of its ongoing effort to \u201cimplement regulatory compliance mechanisms\u201d required by the US Treasury\u2019s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network.
