In the period from 2019 to 2022, the Chiip raised funds through social networks and personal meetings, converted them into cryptocurrency and transferred to Syria through Turkey. According to the investigation, this money helped fighters escape from the camps of maintenance and finance further operations.

“He directly supported the atrocities of IDIL,” said Prosecutor General Pam Bond.

In December 2024, the court found him guilty of five prosecution points, in particular in conspiracy.

During the investigation FBI The Chipa tried to escape: he made $ 1800, bought tickets for a bus under fictional names, flew to Mexico, and from there – in Guatemala. The plan to reach Egypt through Panama and Germany broke after Interpol intervention. The man was deported to the United States.

The FBI confirmed transfers by blockchain analysis by linking transactions to terrorists’ funds for terrorists. Negotiation records made by agents undercover and informants recorded ideological support for IDIL.

Prosecutors emphasized that the escape attempt became the basis for strengthening the sentence. The chip will only be able to release at the age of 65.
