Billions in Bitcoin recovered by feds in huge 'pig butchering' fraud claimed by 9/11 families and other terror victims
By Dan Christensen, FloridaBulldog.org
More than $11.4 billion in the crypto currency Bitcoin, allegedly stolen from a China-Iran crypto mining operation but now in U.S. hands, has touched off a “race to the courthouse” in New York by multiple law firms seeking to claim it for the 9/11 families and other victims of terrorism.
Fifteen years ago, a federal judge ruled Iran was liable for providing “material support” to the al Qaeda terrorists who hijacked four U.S. passenger jets on Sept. 11, 2001 and crashed them into New York’s World Trade Center towers, the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania. Nearly 3,000 people were killed in the attacks.
Since then, the court has ordered Iran to pay more than $140 billion in damages to thousands of the injured, relatives of the dead and insurers. The Taliban, the Islamic rulers of Afghanistan, were also found liable and similarly ordered to pay.
