Hawks say they have airtight case against a South African arrested on terrorist financing charges

Zero sympathy. When I see ads to help those "suffering" in the middle east, I click the ads so it cost them money, but I will hell no donate for them just to detonate.
 
You have to be extra special to be prosecuted for supporting Islamic terrorism by the same government that celebrated October 7th.
yeah. im a little confused. how do they determine the R11500 was to fund the terrorism and not to buy a second hand GPU though?

Bitcoin isn't really anonymous. You can triangulate basically anyone using it as all transactions are public record.

The "charity" posted a bitcoin wallet to which to send donations to. All the intelligence had to do is lookup which bitcoin wallets sent money to it.

Likely what happened is:

That this guy loaded R11500 to Luno, who then gave him the equivalent amount of bitcoin in his address. Likely he is an amateur so there was only one transaction on his account. So they went and got the bitcoin address of whomever put the money in his wallet and cross-referenced it with all known exchanges. To which Luno turned up. They then and ask Luno to hand over who owns the bitcoin address they transferred money into.

Relevant legislation relied on to request the information:

The written request for information must cite the legislation being relied on to request the customer information.

Information to identify the relevant Luno customer account, which may include the following:

  • the unique payment reference number associated with the Luno customer account (with the prefix "BX", "LN");
  • KYC information such as identity number, name, email address and residential address;
  • cryptocurrency wallet address; and/or
  • transaction ID (TXID) as well as amount and payment date

The specific information required from Luno, such as:

  • Account holder information
  • Transaction history for a specified period
  • Sign-in history for a specified period
  • Reason for urgency, if applicable

Which they have listed as the one and only Ziyadh Hoorzook. They then go and get a search warrant in his home and find videos of bin Laden on his computer.

In other words, he is absolutely farked.

Article makes it very clear:
Late last year, CSIF began monitoring a jihadist funding
campaign on Telegram, calling itself al-Sadaqah, Arabic for the
charitable giving. The group claimed to be raising bitcoin
funds for fighters in Syria.
We monitored al-Sadaqah's social
media channels and analyzed their bitcoin address, which it
would highlight regularly asking followers to donate
anonymously with bitcoin.
In its initial campaign, it sought $750 for camp
reinforcements. Within weeks, we noticed the address, the
bitcoin address received $685 worth of bitcoin.
The group
continued requesting funding for logistical supplies, but only
received a handful of bitcoin transactions, none of them as
large as the $685 early in the campaign.

Through the Alsan-Uygar decoder 9000, us silly kufars can get the true meaning of what they actually want:

"Donating Boots to the Mujahideen" actually means: "Buying food for starving children".
"Providing brand new military suits to mujahideen" actually means:" Paying for animal welfare in conflict zones".

I found the terrorist wallet. That transaction is worth $6900 today o_O

Someone wrote it up here:

Apparently this is linked to the same account that kidnapped children in South Africa.

To answer @LCBXX, kidnapping children is probably a good sign you are committing terrorism.
Thank God US authorities managed to arrest Maxwell and Combs, and Epstein killed himself. 3 American terrorists out of commission.

i mean they literally invited known terrorist Orgs to come visit here in South Africa. lol.

Luno could even have flagged it of their own accord as there are databases of known illegal activity wallets that they would be working with to protect themselves, just like the banks have black lists of questioned bank accounts.

****

Struggled to remember the name of the company but it’s Notabene that monitors travel rules for crypto and Luno has some stake in them.


Although I see they only partnered in 2021 which was way after this transaction, but similar stuff probably existed already.

The wallet has been flagged with known terrorist activities so what is there not to see?

Similar things apply when dealing with sanctioned countries etc.

I'll take it with a bag of salt. He does not display any pattern and the state is known to exaggerate. Prosecution claims they have an airtight case but his defence claims it's a clear case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. This comes down to he said she said and I bet it's an empty act to get off the grey list while our government is actively involved in corruption and funding real terrorists.
 
"airtight case" against small fry

nail the mofo to the cross, absolutely

but what about the billions the ANC cadres stoles from the country?!? Hawks are clearly avoiding the real problems in ZA
