Abstract:
Violent Extremist Organizations VEOs need financial networks to conduct their operations and achieve their goals. Seeking a new way to build and maintain their financial networks, VEOs have turned to the Internes and virtual currencies to finance their operations. The U.S. must mitigate the misuse of cryptocurrencies by regulating their use under traditional financial laws, and in a further step, dedicate national assets to mine cyber currencies in order to disrupt VEO funding and prevent adversarial nation-states from maneuvering around sanctions.
