Annison explained that decentralized exchanges have deep liquidity and “really good volume,“ making it “super easy” to launder funds.
“Over USD 517,000 was sent in 2022 by individuals using an Indonesia-based exchange to addresses identified by TRM Labs as belonging to pro-ISIS fundraising campaigns in Syria and the local exchanges that facilitate their activities.” Through blockchain tracing, TRM Labs identified the flow of funds and notified the exchange used by the group for cashing out their funds. The exchange then alerted local authorities, resulting in Turkish authorities arresting a senior ISIS fundraiser, Shamil Hukumatov, on June 22.It was further reported that a media unit linked to ISIS’s affiliate in Pakistan began promoting its ability to accept donations in the second half of 2022.
