Virginia Crypto User Gets 30+ Years for ISIS Funding—Because Anonymity Doesn’t Cover Stupidity

While decentralized finance evangelists preach censorship resistance, this verdict screams the quiet part loud: try moving illicit funds, and you’ll meet the long arm of Chainalysis-powered justice. Bonus irony? His ISIS buddies probably still think fiat is the real tool of oppression.
