New information that’s simply delightful:

Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", announced in 2019 their intention to establish a mechanism for supporters to donate cryptocurrency to the group. A short time later, its web site setup a link for supporters to transfer donations.

However,
a person who gets all wrapped up in himself makes a mighty small package...
this effort caught the attention of the U.S. Department of Justice who covertly took over the website, intercepted funds directed to Hamas, and subsequently shut it down.

"With judicial authorization, law enforcement seized the infrastructure of the al-Qassam Brigades websites and subsequently covertly operated alqassam.net. During that covert operation, the website received funds from persons seeking to provide material support to the terrorist organization, however, they instead donated the funds bitcoin wallets controlled by the United States," a Department of Justice blurb stated.

#2 How:
They pried open a crypto-window with a crypto-prybar, grabbed up the crypto-cash and put it in a crypto-bag, and got away before the crypto-cops got there.
Simple.
