WASHINGTON -- The Justice Department said Thursday it has seized millions of dollars from cryptocurrency accounts that militant organization abroad, including al Qaeda and the Islamic State group, relied on to raise money for violent operations.
The legal move, which included undercover law enforcement work and )forfeiture complaints filed in Washington's federal court, is meant to deprive the organizations of fund needed to buy weapons and equipment and develop fighters and plots, Assistant Attorney General John Demers, the department's top national security official, said in a conference call announcing the case.
Law enforcement officials ultimately seized more than 150 cryptocurrency accounts that they say laundered funds to accounts operated by the al-Qassam Brigades. The department also identified a scheme that officials say was orchestrated by an IS associate who manages certain hacking operations for the group.
