Woman Busted sending BTC to ISIS

[richardsNY]

The lady got busted because she use it in a wrong way.

How does one use Bitcoin in the wrong way? It's just her ignorance having resulted in her being busted. If you think something is anonymous, while in reality it isn't, you as person are stupid for not understanding the tool that you are using. People for once need to put aside their "Bitcoin is an anonymous" digital currency believe, which is something the mainstream media is also contributing to with their criminals are using Bitcoin because it offers them anonymity nonsense. It's straight BS. If you want to send crypto value from one person to another, use decentralized exchanges to buy a privacy centric coin, and then have that coin be sent to its destination....

Bitcoin is maybe always used in illegal transactions and that is for sure.
When decentralization is made possible, more crime is too.
More or less we can't do so much about it.
The thing is, maybe that is the reason why government is aiming to  be in the system. Not just to control it I guess. Taxes are good as long we know where it is going.

I don't care what any of you hooligans say about the government, but ISIS is on another level of evil and misguidance.

Most anti government regimes that succeed are almost always WORSE than the government they overthrew.

Well I think this is just part of the many "risks" that crypto currency has to offer. Since we are not yet regulated especially for most countries, there is a high risk that this can be used not just in funding terrorism but all sorts of evil deeds. Like drugs, money laundering or scam.
Lets just hope that this wont cause FUD in the market moving forward.

But that is one thing that is causing the problem with cryptocurrency is that it can be sent to a whole lot of people or sellers with privacy and almost instantly and this is something that some governments and major countries worldwide are worrying about. Which is the unregulated use in which it can be put to heinous shemes and evil plans that can be a real trouble for them to fix and oversee

this news will have a devastating effect on crypto, not just for bitcoin. although we do not know what it is really happening. because the news is not complete with accurate data facts. yes, i do not like this kind of action. I agree isis is the enemy of all people in the world.

hopefully this is just information that does not affect the sale value buy bitcoin, i was too bored if bitcoin is linked with crime. there are still many positive values for life. Let's try to create a bitcoin community that focuses on charity. the world is old, multiply the goodness of the ugliness.

I am curious about whether the woman's behavior is purely personal or organized.

This looks to me like one of those "fake news" that the mainstream media is spreading more and more often. If this had happened, how would they find out? ISIS already has (or had) so much money that it makes ridiculous that they would need to receive it from a woman in USA. And how would they then change the Bitcoin? On localbitcoins in Palmira? Or in the Iraqi desert? Come on...
