Federal authorities seized millions of dollars in cryptocurrency as part of an operation that dismantled online campaigns to raise funds for major foreign terrorist groups, the Justice Department announced Thursday.
The department said al-Qaeda, the Islamic State and the al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas' military wing, solicited cryptocurrency donations from around the world using various online tools to fund their terror activitieshttps://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2020/08/13/doj-cryptocurrency-seized-terrorist-financing-investigation/3363048001/Swell, puts a crimp in their operations and likely saves lives...but fans of Crypto ought to seriously consider the following:
The investigation that led to the seizures involved undercover operations. Investigators worked with covert sources who were communicating with the terrorist groups and provided federal authorities with information on the cryptocurrency accounts, Sherwin said.What they did to legitimate terrorists...they could do to you. In the age of corrupt criminal conspirators and un-American operatives dominating the bureaucracy and continued efforts to overthrow a duly-elected President or cheat him out of office...how safe is your precious Crypto?
