Hamas Announces Suspension of Bitcoin Fundraising
(Reuters) Nidal Al-Mughrabi - Hamas' Izz el-Deen al-Qassam Brigades said Thursday it would stop fundraising via bitcoin. "This comes out of concern about the safety of donors and to spare them any harm," the group said, after seeing increased efforts to prevent people and groups sending it bitcoin funds. Developments in technology that track the movement of crypto currency have made it easier for authorities to identify those behind crypto transfers.
