The American Forum of Neonazists Daily Stormer received at least 112 bitcoins from their supporters since January 2017, reports Associated Press (AP). At the exchange rate on September 28, the amount of donations is about 4.6 million dollars.
Association advocates the “purity” of the White race, publishes conspiracy articles with accusations against blacks, Jews and women. The activities of the Daily Stormer provoked at least three racially murders. The founder of the Andrew Engen Forum became a millionaire thanks to the support of the worldwide network of supporters of his ideology. In 2017, after the “United right-hand” march in the American city of Charlottesville, the founder of the Daily Stormer received 14.88 Bitcoins. At that time, this amount was equal to 60 thousand dollars and is the largest cryptographic sacrifice ever received by a radical. The source of funds is still not installed. Currently, Englin is charged with a collusion in order to plan and promote a rally in Charlottesville, who led to the collision of ultra-right with law enforcement officers and political opponents and took several lives.
By the time the march, the banks have already stopped servicing credit cards founder Daily Stormer, and Paypal blocked his wallet, so cryptocurrency translations became the main source of financing for the ultra-right activist. In April 2020, Englenn said that for four years, Daily Stormer financed exclusively through bitcoins. AP reports that the “Nationalistic Cryptovalum Guide” is distributed in Telegram, containing the following applications: “We all know that the Jews and their minions control the global financial system. When they consider your opinion wrong, they will decide to exclude you from this system, and this It will very complicate your life. An alternative to this system is cryptocurrency. “
