 Last year, 58 Congressmen sent a letter to Secretary Yellen asking for clarity on the scope of Hamas' cryptocurrency financing. But Secretary Yellen's response was never published.

Today, I filed a FOIA Request with the Department of Treasury for Yellen's response.

We already know that the dollar amounts published in the media were inaccurate and that cryptocurrencies are not a popular tool used by Hamas and the PIJ in their terror financing efforts.

Yellen's official response could still be instrumental in combating the current alarmist narrative that cryptocurrencies pose a threat to US national security to demand tighter regulation and increasingly unproportionate AML/CFT measures for the entire industry.
