[IsraelTimes] After finding his bitcoin account, Sherlocks believe Israeli-American teen sold counterfeit IDs on dark net for cryptocurrency.
The Israeli-American teenager behind hundreds of hoax bomb threats against Jewish institutions in the US reportedly earned millions of shekels’ worth of digital currency by selling counterfeit documents over the internet.
Police suspect the 18-year-old -- whose name is sealed under gag order in Israel -- sold forged identity cards, passports and driver’s licenses over both the internet and the dark net in exchange for bitcoins, a cryptocurrency often used in illicit transactions online, according to a Channel 2 report Thursday. |
