A U.S. court has sentenced Mohammed Azharuddin Chhipa to three decades in prison for funneling over $185,000 in cryptocurrency to ISIS affiliates. Federal prosecutors detailed how Chhipa converted donations into digital assets, routing funds through Turkish wallets to support militant operations in Syria.
The case underscores the growing scrutiny of crypto’s role in illicit finance. While blockchain analytics firms increasingly assist law enforcement, this prosecution highlights the challenges of tracking cross-border terror funding in decentralized systems.
