The guy, Abu Mustafa who allegedly posted a Bitcoin address on some ISIS forum was a prisoner in Abu Ghraib.

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/12/abu-ghraib-remains-scar-on-u-s-war-efforts/

So maybe the story should be that the US horrible treatment of Iraqi prisoners has caused them to join ISIS.


Maybe the anti-Bitcoin reporters would like to report the anti-war story about how our attacks actually turn people into enemies.


They can't. The 'reporters' have to wait for a republican administration to be in power... So bitcoin be it!

Hmm.. seem like more and more people are using Bitcoin in a bad way..

ISIS is using bitcoin for recruitment and fundraising reported a an Israeli cyber intelligence analyst.. Read more here - http://rt.com/usa/227703-bitcoin-isis-us-fundraising/.

Quote
Haaretz newspaper quoted an Israeli analyst who said he traced an ISIS funding website and “has uncovered concrete evidence that a terror cell, purporting to be related to the Islamic State – is soliciting for bitcoins as part of its fundraising efforts.”

The inclusion of "using bitcoin for recruitment" set my BS alarm bells ringing, that is such a loaded suggestion, to imply that BTC is somehow complicate in the clusterfuck. I have yet to see any evidence of this claim in this forum. IMO Its just another attempt by those who are afraid that the BTC and its community are cutting through both sides of the shit cake that Zionists and IS want to serve the world. BTC is neutral and transparent, a concept that neither of these sides can comprehend.

This is something that shouldn't be in the news at all.
It was never debatable that bitcoin network can/may be/will be used for (among other things) terrorist activity.

Like someone above already stated; Terrorists use USD also ! What are we doing regarding that fact?!
Drug dealers, child smuglers, terrorists .. they all use USD daily, what do u expect to do about it? Ban fiat ?

It all comes down to fight against misuse of financial goods, and the first thing i think that will get shut down are
services like bitmixer, that knowingly provide safe-heaven for shady activity, since bitcoin can't be shut down
easily like libertyreserve was.

cheers

I guess that's bad news for: ★777Coin.com★ Fun BTC Casino!

Thank you for pointing this out. I would never play in a casino with dirty isis bitcoins...

 Cool




Huh? Did I miss anything? Or did you misunderstood something?

Isis sales the oil they have control on. Isis is using all the cash they stole in major banks. Why is bitcoin a target, and not oil or all that $$$ they are using to buy stuff to burn people alive and, now according to the UN, tools to make holes in the ground to bury children alive? They believe in the value of gold and silver, they do not consider any virtual anything compatible with their laws. Shouldn't gold bugs and silver bugs be under surveillance first instead of bitcoin? Maybe they already are...

 Cool

Would be funny if Bitcoin keeps crashing and they lose a chunk of the value Grin

Its a non-story. They will need all available methods and Bitcoin happens to be one.

It is a real convenience for criminals, since the transaction is anonymous and difficult to trace. The fact that there is no real good way to trace it might trigger many regulatory concerns, so that regulators might either strictly classify it as a digital asset trade-able on regulated exchanges, or ban it and drive it underground

One guy on a US website puts a Bitcoin address on a terrorist website and now somehow ISIS (the whole organization) is fundraising with bitcoins?

First of all, the address is open for anyone to trace.

The ISIS in Iraq actually get their funding by going into a city and stealing whatever they can by force.

The ISIS in Iraq is full of people that have no clue about technology and cannot even figure out how to flush a toilet (don't ask me how I know this).


Donate to this link and I will donate it to the US military:

What's the big deal? Terrorists also collect cash
Nobody disses cash because of that, do they?

It's sad to see stuff like this. Sure all publicity is good publicity but I hate to see Bitcoin mentioned with criminals so often.

Really! It's already hard to do most things with BTC in the US or anywhere in Europe, so I wonder what you could do with BTC in Syria or Irak where IS is.

Pretty sure Bitcoin makes it easier since they'll have the coins to track and any mixer that helps mix the coins will be forced into cooperation or get charges of aiding a terrorism group.

They both have pros and cons, but this just seems like they were fishing just to see if they could get any donations. Bitcoin certainly may make it easier for the casual person who doesn't know how to get money to terrorists and can be done pretty safely with bitcoin. Hopefully this doesn't become widespread, though.

And another bad news for bitcoin  Undecided

Your kidding me right ?

You guys seem more uneducated then the people(ISIS) who are doing this shit to give HUMANS a bad name.
Terror organization - ISIS - TALIBAN - AL-QAEDA - AFRICAN AND ASIAN GROUPS - YEMEN - have all been "dfund raising" in USD, EURO, GBP, AED, YEN, INR, RAY and many others.

Probably the percentage of them doing it in other currencies is 99% to bitcoin (if true) is 1%.

Use your head before even thinking of things like this, also do try to see the reality.

All these so called Terror Organizations have been incubated in washington. There is actual proof to that but no proof to ISIS using Btc to raise funds.

I swear sometimes peoples incompentency to understand reality surprises me.

ISIS also uses thousands, if not millions of dollars and other currencies. Why isn't that being reported?

Do they suddenly found someone that sells weapons in Bitcoin?

It's pretty obvious these kind of people are going to use Bitcoin, as it provides them an easy way to transfer funds, just like drug dealers did, but I seriously don't get the press's point when millions of units of fiat currency are used for crimes every week.

Because the people spreading the negativity have an agenda, but also because the general public are sheeple. They don't want to listen to how you can buy drugs/guns/politicians/cp/bombs with fiat but seem to think its a big deal because you can buy some of these things with bitcoin too.
