The Wall Street Journal quoted Jason Weinstein in a July 13 article titled "How Bitcoin Fueled Russian Hacks." The article discusses how the Russian intelligence officers charged with hacking into the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign used bitcoin to finance and obscure their operations, according to an indictment obtained by special counsel Robert Mueller’s office.
Weinstein says, "These allegations make clear that even where hackers use fake names and multiple accounts, blockchain technology allows law enforcement to follow the money in a way that would never be possible with cash."
