CRYPTO SCAM VICTIMS? as a retired combat marine I want to tell you that as what you are doing to is just as important as any warrior on the battlefield. You are waging warfare against this crypto criminal on this digital battlefield. You're protecting and defending the most vulnerable of our society

Are there any examples of crypto being used to finance terrorism or notable concerns about crypto being used to finance terrorism or other illegal activities? And would this fit within the scope of the article? This article now seems more focussed hacks and theft of cryptocurrency, but not the usage

or something as straight forward? Perhaps there's a reason for the name being what it is, but at first look it seems like a subtle attempt to downplay the hard-to-dismiss public narrative that
Bitcoin/crypto had for much of it's existence. Maybe i'm wrong to assume that. "Security" would imply to me

Then, at the end, the source mentions institutions fighting various crime (including "child exploitation, and even terrorist financing") on the blockchain, crime that was stated to be negligible there - this also does not support the claims in the article.
392:
I was interested in writing an article on cryptorelated scams and happened to stumble upon this one. I'm curious as to whether there are any objections on significantly expanding this article based on the literature I've been able to gather so far
267:"As of 2022, no proof currently exists that cryptocurrency is abused more than fiat money. Many sources have stated cryptocurrencies are mainly used for funding illicit and illegal activities, but this is not the case."
421:
A scam is analogous to a crime, so seems ok to include it here. No good reason to fork it in my opinion. Sometimes these research pieces are really quite close to OR, but I am guessing you know how to distinguish.

It seems that theft of millions of dollars can be pretty common every month nowadays. We might not want to list each and every such event. What is the minimum ballpark that should be mentioned?

With that in mind, I have removed the two sentences. If somebody wants to reintroduce similar claims, fine, but please, use sources without conflicts of interest that make specific claims.
