Presented: (ET)
Presented by: Keven Hendricks

COMING SOON – EXACT DATE AND TIME TBD.

The earliest-reported foreign terrorist organization that adopted cryptocurrencies as a means of donations was the Ibn Taymiyyah Media Center (ITMC) crowdfunding campaign for Mujahideen Shura Council/Environs of Jerusalem in 2016.  Since then, cryptocurrency use among terror organizations has ballooned.

This webinar will cover the history of terrorist financing with cryptocurrencies as well as current trends.  Attendees will understand how cryptocurrencies have become the preferred medium of payment for terrorist organizations to circumvent traditional banking and payment institutions.
