U.S. Seizes $560,000 in Cryptocurrency Donations for Hamas
(U.S. Department of Justice) The U.S. Justice Department announced Tuesday the disruption of an ongoing scheme by Hamas - a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization - to raise funds for terrorist operations and recruit supporters. Over $560,000 in cryptocurrency donations destined for Hamas were seized and its fundraising and recruitment communication platforms and websites were disrupted. "These seizures deprive Hamas of resources it relies on to recruit and radicalize individuals online and finance barbaric attacks like the one on October 7, 2023," said Assistant Attorney General for National Security John A. Eisenberg.
