A group solicits funds for weapons by asking for bitcoin, according to the Department of Justice. The Trump administration says al-Qaida and affiliated groups have used such donations to fund terrorism.

The DOJ calls this "the government's largest-ever seizure of cryptocurrency in the terrorism context." It also seizes websites ISIS allegedly used to sell fake face masks during the pandemic.
