new article from #ZekeFaux in Bloomberg about the chairman of the #Trump transition team #HowardLutnick taking an ownership stake in "#Tether, the stablecoin used by drug traffickers, terrorists and scammers to move money around the world" and more specifically about $300 million in terrorist connected transactions:
> It turns out that particular crypto wallet was controlled by Sa’id al-Jamal, a financier of the #Houthi fighters attacking merchant ships in the Red Sea, according to the US Treasury Department... Still, he was able to use those crypto wallets to send and receive more than $300 million of Tether.

Yes, you read that right. Terrorist financing in the Maldives. Using cryptocurrency. For those who aren’t steeped in terrorist financing, this will come as a surprise. But the Maldives have had a growing terrorism problem for a number of years, so it’s no real surprise that a hub of financing activity has grown there. (The networks identified have also been involved in propaganda production and dissemination). Let’s dig in and see what’s happening in this island paradise when it comes to terrorist financing.
