[Jpost] IDC identifies Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®, bitcoin front with Iran
 ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan, the abbreviation IRGC is a cognate form of Stürmabteilung (or SA), the term Supreme Guide is a cognate form of either Shah or Führer or maybe both, and they hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...

A website called "cash4ps" enables Hamas to send and receive money out of Gazoo

...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
for operational terror purposes while simultaneously providing a measure of anonymity to either donors or beneficiaries.
IDC's International Institute for Counter-Terrorism (ICT) has identified a bitcoin front for Hamas which has links to Iran in a report exclusively obtained by the Jerusalem Post.
According to the IDC-ICT Cyber desk report, the al-Nasr Brigades ‐ Lawa al-Tawahid serve as the military arm of the Popular Resistance® Committees, was formed in 2001 by Jamal Abu Samhadna Abu Atayya and operates under the auspice of Hamas.
The report also says that the brigades have been funded by Iran in the past, but appear to be low on Iranian funds in the present, leading to the new bitcoin fundraising initiative.
In addition, the organization is known for its kidnapping operation of Gilad Shalit.
In the ICT report, the Hamas and Iran-linked group’s network of online media platforms is deciphered as well as how they all interact to raise funds for the group.
A website called "cash4ps" enables Hamas to send and receive money out of Gaza for operational terror purposes while simultaneously providing a measure of anonymity to either donors or beneficiaries of the funds, said the report.
While monitoring Bitcoin address 1LaNXgq2ctDEa4fTha6PTo8sucqzieQctq, ICT’s cyber desk noted "an irregular increase in the scope of activity," and a "deeper review showed that the same address served a seemingly legitimate financial website by the name of cash4ps."
It added that the company connected to the bitcoin address in question "has been identified as operating an account in a banned bank."
A check with BitcoinWho’sWho.com did not reveal any fraud alert associated with the wallet, yet the report said that the Bitcoin Abuse Database web site flagged the wallet as a fundraising wallet for Hamas, the report stated.
The Islamic National Bank, which the US gave a terrorist designation in 2010 due to its connection to Hamas, is linked to the financial scheme.
The bank has a physical presence in the form of a few branches and ATMs across Gaza in addition to an internet presence under www.inb.ps where it offers banking services to Gazooks, said the report.
On November 28th, the bank opened a new Facebook page which refers to websites associated with the financial scheme in addition to promoting its services and advertising savings accounts. Additionally, the bank refers to a downloadable app on both Android and iOS.
Reviewing Facebook posts, ICT was able to connect the wallet with al-Buraq media, which identifies with al-Nasr Brigades "and included an appeal for support due to lack of resources and Iran’s rejection to their request for support" in the current time period.
ICT also collaborated with Cobweb Technologies to uncover connections between certain Telegram accounts and the terror financing scheme.
An ICT inspection on December 1 revealed that the total transaction volume in the wallet in question has reached 3,370 Bitcoin (US $23,800,524.) In four years, the wallet has performed over 4,5000 transactions.
| Goodness. Busy and profitable. |
Further, the report explained that the company connected to the wallet has two physical addresses in Gaza: (i) in A Rimal neighborhood across from a mosque and (ii) Rafah ‐ Balad next to the civil defense office (possibly on the Egyptian side).
Moreover, ICT identified Ramadan Alkurd, a.k.a. Wesam Ismael, as connected to the fundraising operations and has connected him with Hamas.
There is a picture online of Alkurd in a Hamas-style uniform and another picture of him making a pro-Hamas sign with his hands. There is additional evidence linking Wesam Ismael to Hamas and proving that the two names are the same person using alter egos.
A front man for ICT said that Hamas’ use of the wallet for terror financing might be disrupted if the US designated all of the mentioned accounts and entities as connected to terror groups.
While that would be a start, the front man noted that the West and other countries wanting to blot out terror financing should pass international legislation regulating the bitcoin exchanges.
Only with additional regulation, which bitcoin has worked hard to avoid to date, can these nations force bitcoin managers to carry out sufficient due diligence to eliminate their being used as platforms for terror financing.
