美國聯邦調查局（FBI）從幾個錢包和交換帳戶扣押了超過20萬美元的加密貨幣，與巴勒斯坦激進組織哈馬斯相關

The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has seized more than $200,000 in cryptocurrency from several wallets and exchange accounts linked to the Palestinian militant group Hamas, the agency announced Thursday.

該機構週四宣布，美國聯邦調查局（FBI）已從幾個錢包和與巴勒斯坦武裝組織哈馬斯相關的交換帳戶中奪取了超過20萬美元的加密貨幣。

According to the FBI, more than $1.5 million in crypto — largely in the form of donations from Hamas supporters around the world — has flowed through the seized wallets and exchange accounts since last October. The wallet addresses were allegedly promoted in a group chat claiming to be associated with Hamas, a U.S. and European Union-designated terrorist organization, and donations were subsequently laundered through a series of crypto exchanges and transactions.

根據聯邦調查局（FBI）的說法，自去年10月以來，超過150萬美元的加密貨幣（主要是以來自哈馬斯支持者的捐款形式）流過了被沒收的錢包和交換帳戶。據稱，錢包講話是在一個群體聊天中晉升的，聲稱與美國和歐盟指定的恐怖組織哈馬斯有關，隨後通過一系列加密交易所和交易對捐款進行了洗錢。

“These seizures show that this office will search high and low for every cent of money going to fund Hamas, wherever it is found, and in whatever form of currency,” U.S. Attorney Edward R. Martin Jr. of the District of Columbia said in a statement. “Hamas is responsible for the death of many U.S. and Israeli nationals, and we will stop at nothing to stop their campaign of terror and murder.”

哥倫比亞特區的美國檢察官愛德華·R·馬丁·馬丁（Edward R. Martin Jr. “哈馬斯負責許多美國和以色列國民的死亡，我們將一無所獲，以阻止他們的恐怖和謀殺運動。”

According to the FBI’s release, approximately $90,000 in crypto was seized from an undisclosed number of wallets, and another $112,000 was taken from three exchange accounts, which were registered to Palestinian individuals living in Turkey “and elsewhere.”

根據聯邦調查局（FBI）的發布，大約90,000美元的加密貨幣從未公開的錢包中扣押了，另外三個交易所賬戶中又獲得了112,000美元，這些賬戶已註冊給居住在土耳其的巴勒斯坦人“和其他地方”。

The U.S. Treasury Department and other foreign governments have previously sanctioned Hamas-linked financial networks and facilitators of crypto transfers, and Israel’s Defense Ministry’s National Bureau for Counter Terror Financing (NBCTF) seized nearly 200 cryptocurrency accounts tied to Palestinian currency exchanges in April 2023.

美國財政部和其他外國政府此前曾批准與加密貨幣轉移的聯合金融網絡和協助者，以色列國防部國家國防部的反恐融資局（NBCTF）抓住了近200個與帕勒斯坦貨幣貨幣交流有關的加密貨幣賬戶，於2023年4月。

According to a report from blockchain analytics firm TRM Labs, the NBCTF has seized “tens of millions” of dollars in crypto from Hamas-linked accounts over the last few years.

根據區塊鏈分析公司TRM Labs的一份報告，NBCTF在過去幾年中從哈馬斯連接的帳戶中奪取了“數千萬美元”的加密貨幣。

According to the U.S. Treasury, Hamas has been using cryptocurrency to move some of its money since at least 2020, in order to mitigate the risks of physically transporting cash and to evade financial monitoring.

根據美國財政部的說法，哈馬斯至少從2020年開始使用加密貨幣來驅動其中的一些資金，以減輕物理運輸現金並逃避財務監控的風險。
