Some have speculated that terrorists have discovered a way to use the platform crypto currency to gather identities from different people from all over the world. use their identities for terrorist activities. From threads that i have seen, there are people thinking that some ICOs are used to fund terrorist acts by luring investors into investing into their companies, getting KYC in exchange of money, gather a large sum of it and then run away with big bags of bucks.
IMO, these scenarios have big possibilities since there is the anonymity factor feature of crypto currency, we really do not have the knowledge as to whom and where the money will go for when it was transacted in cyberspace.

what are your thoughts on this?

Maybe this was a good idea to gather informations from different people  but quite complicated. Also, this requires a big amount of money which are capable of buying other useful things like weapons. In addition, if they want to gather informations from a lot of people why only those small ICO projects and not big comapnies that gather more informations like facebook and other Social Media companies?
