Just for the record "terrorist" is the modern day bogey man.

Just for the record: what is currently misnamed "terrorism" is actually "jihad" -- and has a very long bloody history predating the US by more than 1000 years. This is obviously completely off topic in this thread.

I disagree, terrorism, as defined by the US government includes more than muslims.  There is a reason they said that if you believe in the US constitution, ever served in the military, use ham radio or internet chat and a whole bunch of other things you might be a terrorist.  It is basically anyone the US gov disagrees with or is unable to politically control.  

Further jihad answers the "why" question where terrorism answers the "how" question.  You can be a jihadi without being a terrorist and you can be a terrorist without being a jihadi.

The reason this is on-topic is because of the claim of terror funding.  Was it specified if it was domestic or foreign terrorism?  For all I know he was helping support one of the activist groups (ELF is listed as a terror organization), militias (some but not all are terror orgs some just do the more historical role), or perhaps some other crazy group out there somewhere in the world.  

I ask because while there are things mentioning ISIS there are also a lot of conclusions people have jumped to and I did not know what was factual and what was speculation with the ISIS ties.

You make a good point. Released govt documents have pointed to people with anti-government views as being "terrorists," while the current powers that be try to avoid using the word "terrorism" when actual jihadi attacks occur (e.g., Paris). I see a lot of jihad-denialism on forums like these. It's annoying. (It's also a jot demeaning to Muslims -- like they're not capable of being evil unless the *real* evil people, us, have made them evil. Not just ahistorical, but dumb.)

This is from the coinfire article:

Quote
The SEC has been sharing documents with the FTC, IRS, FinCen, and even the Department of Homeland Security regarding potential money-laundering and the movement of money to those believed to be actively working with terrorists abroad.

Assuming this is correct, it's foreign not domestic. (Edit: I see vnhyp0 just posted another quote from the article pointing to Saudi Arabia.)

Now that you've brought this up though, there are a hell of a lot of anti-government types in crypto. DHS could easily target every exchange using the pretense of having "domestic terrorists" as customers. (Maybe they should add a couple of questions to their KYC: 1. Do you think the constitution is, like, really old and out of date? 2. How much do you (sigh) really love our glorious President Obama?)

This is all on-topic because I used the word jot.
