Gate News, message: April 7, Indonesian authorities recently found three defendants guilty of terrorism financing through cryptocurrency, making it one of the first terrorism-financing convictions in Southeast Asia supported primarily by on-chain blockchain evidence. One defendant allegedly transferred more than 49,000 USDT to an overseas exchange through 15 transactions, with the flow of funds tied to a network associated with ISIS. None of the three defendants directly took part in terrorist attacks; their roles were characterized as the “financial logistics layer” of a terrorist organization.
