not quite how any of this works, especially keeping in mind this transaction happened back in 2017They then and ask Luno to hand over who owns the bitcoin address they transferred money into
technically Luno Expeditions had a stake in Notabene, until it got killed off and just became DCG's venture arm againStruggled to remember the name of the company but it’s Notabene that monitors travel rules for crypto and Luno has some stake in them
quite correct, travel rule didn't even exist back in 2017, but blockchain analysis and sanction lists certainly did, Chainalysis would be the company name in 2017 (and still today in addition to Notebene etc)Although I see they only partnered in 2021 which was way after this transaction, but similar stuff probably existed already.

it's accurate enough, hence why I say "technically"Was just going by their own website that calls Luno an investor
it's accurate enough, hence why I say "technically"
the venture / investment part of Luno doesn't exist anymore, but seeing as they are wholly owned by DCG and DCG still does plenty of ventures the Notabene stake just rolled up one notch higher in the same family of companies
or hell maybe the stake is on Luno's books still, who knows, makes little difference in the end
Oh interesting! How much Bitcoin did he get for his R11,500? Are there still UTXOs in that wallet?I found the terrorist wallet. That transaction is worth $6900 today![]()
I looked into this connection.Apparently this is linked to the same account that kidnapped children in South Africa.
It is pretty damning that we have the exact transactionOh interesting! How much Bitcoin did he get for his R11,500? Are there still UTXOs in that wallet?
Update: It looks like that original post on Medium actually spotted Hoorzook's transaction on 30 November:

I looked into this connection.
The inbound transaction's wallet address was flagged by BitcoinWhosWho, which mentioned the kidnapping case.
They didn't realise they were looking at a Luno address.

He said the Hawks found videos, images, and articles containing extremist material that promoted violence on the accused’s electronic devices, as well as speeches by former al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.
This is the major problem they're facing. Nobody knew it was a problem address until after transfers were made. So how can they claim with certainty he knew what it was for?the destination address was most likely flagged as a problem by government agencies, CIA/FBI etc, not the useless Hawks, then it becomes easy to figure out where transfers made to it came from as it is recorded on the blockchain, that's where Luno would get involved if one of their internal wallets gets identified as a source of a transfer to a dodgy address
how does clicking the ad cost them money? (serious question)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.

Thanks!To elaborate on what @SauRoNZA said, ad being displayed costs a few cents, ad being clicked costs a few dollars to the advertisers
Thank you.Sometimes there is a base rate to place the ad, and then a secondary click-through rate which is paid after the fact based on the ads clicked.
Depends on the platform and volumes etc but more or less how it works.
Besides the cost in this case there would also be a budget cap, so in a way if you click the ads there’s a better chance of them going away more quickly as they hit the budget cap and then don’t get displayed.
