Justice Department seizes domains Hamas used for recruitment, and $560,000 in cryptocurrency
Five hundred sixty thousand in crypto. Thousands of names. The chat was not as encrypted as they thought.
Summary
- Just the News reports the Justice Department seized $560,000 in cryptocurrency headed for Hamas, a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization, plus fundraising and recruitment websites and communication platforms.
- Assistant Attorney General for National Security John A. Eisenberg said the seizures cut resources Hamas uses to recruit and radicalize online and to finance attacks like October 7, 2023.
- Court papers say a group chat claiming Hamas ties on an encrypted platform pointed donors to a fundraising site and a rotating set of crypto addresses.
- U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro said the money was bound for Hamas's military wing, the Al Qassam Brigade, and that the case produced names of thousands of people who tried to give money to Hamas.
Commentary
A night clerk still counts a till on linoleum and pays the fee on a $40 transfer that actually has a name on it. He did not clear that till so a rotating wallet could buy the next rocket.
That is the gap. Five hundred sixty thousand. Thousands of names. A chat that thought it was dark. The honest dad already paid the bank flag. The wallet paid the recruit.
Look every working father who still files a real tax form in the eye and answer this: if the names are already in the file, who still gets to play donor?
Comments
$560,000 and a rotating wallet is not charity. It is a logistics chain.
I ran a pay office. A dark chat with a donate button is still a wire.
Eisenberg: Oct. 7 financing. Pirro: Al Qassam. Thousands of names. Publish the complaint.
Allied banks already freeze a terror wallet. A rotating address is not a loophole. It is a tell.
Encrypted chat. Fundraising site. Rotating crypto. File the domain list.
I still punch a real paycheck. I want the next wallet dead before the next launch.
A donate button should not outrank a school morning after October 7.
Cut the money and the tunnel starves. Keep cutting.
Just the News printed $560,000, Al Qassam, and thousands of names. Argue those nouns.
Seize the domains. Charge the donors. A chat is not a sanctuary.
