Crypto for Spies: Israeli Man Nabbed in Iranian Espionage Plot Fueled by Digital Payments
When your side hustle crosses international espionage lines—and pays in volatile assets.
The Setup: An unnamed Israeli citizen allegedly traded state secrets for cryptocurrency, proving even spies chase bull markets.
The Fallout: Authorities swooped in after tracing blockchain breadcrumbs—because nothing says 'covert ops' like an immutable ledger.
The Irony: Betraying your country for crypto? At least he didn't stake his freedom on a meme coin.
Final Thought: Another day, another case of 'decentralized finance' enabling centralized crime. Regulators are taking notes—and shorting privacy tokens.
Iran retaliates against the U.S. and Israel
Recently, Iran retaliated against the U.S. after it launched a major bomb in Iran targeting three nuclear sites. On June 24, Iran fired missiles at a a U.S. base in Qatar. However, the U.S. were able to intercept the missiles and successfully prevented casualties in the attack.
The crypto market reacted positively to news of the interception, with Bitcoin briefly rebounding over the $103,000 level after previously dipping below the $100k threshold.
