WASHINGTON — On Dec. 8, someone made a simultaneous transfer of 28.15 bitcoins — worth more than $500,000 at the time — to 22 different virtual wallets, most of them belonging to prominent right-wing organizations and personalities.

Now cryptocurrency researchers believe they have identified who made the transfer, and suspect it was intended to bolster those far-right causes. U.S. law enforcement is investigating whether the donations were linked to the Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol.

While the motivation is difficult to prove, the transfer came just a month before the violent riot in the Capitol, which took place after President Trump invited supporters to “walk down Pennsylvania Avenue” and “take back our country.”

Right-wing figures and websites, including VDARE, the Daily Stormer and Nick Fuentes, received generous donations from a bitcoin account linked to a French cryptocurrency exchange, according to research done by software company Chainalysis, which maintains a repository of information about public cryptocurrency exchanges and whose tools aid in government, law enforcement and private sector investigations.

It was probably just some company looking to have their products shilled by the organization/personality. Im guessing they used bitcoin because they want as much anonymity as possible and no paper trail (they probably also market to liberal demographics and dont want the bad pr). Which obviously chainalysis has proven to be futile anyways.

There's no way that group of rioters had $500k behind them lol, they were wearing football/hockey helmets with pieces of pipe and flagstaffs. They came in on buses/flights they paid for themselves. Then when they got inside most of them just walked around aimlessly. Just look at any antifa video, that's what rioters with money behind them look like.

They won't ban bitcoin you retard.

If BTC is banned in America we basically start to dramatically lose our position as the richest country in the world in a matter of years. There would have to be a worldwide ban for it to be effective.

Good, Bitcoin is racist the way it is built. It only appeals to white nerd males, who got the luxury of getting a PC from their mother, while minorities get jack shit growing up. It doesn’t appeal to women either, as the community is harassing them away.

Read more closely, they haven't proven anything illegal or even questionable here. Making transfers is not illegal. A month before the capitol protest, there was NO PLANS for a protest at all. There's not even probable cause sufficient to get a wiretap warrant on this. Which is exactly why it's being reported in the news rather than filed in court.
