The U.S. Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control designated three individuals and six entities on June 22 for facilitating financial transactions on behalf of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, targeting a network that used money service businesses and cryptocurrency to move ISIS funds across Europe, the Middle East, and West Africa.
The action covers a Syria-based bitcoin exchange, two Turkish money services firms, three Nigerian currency bureaus, and the individuals who own or operate them. OFAC identified two TRON blockchain addresses linked to a French national designated for conducting transactions with ISIS affiliates and providing explosives-related instructions to ISIS supporters.

Abdelhakim Boukich, a former Dutch national now based in Syria, was designated for establishing and directing Bitcoin Xchange, a Syria-based money service business. According to the Treasury press release, Boukich and Bitcoin Xchange transferred money on behalf of ISIS associates from multiple countries, including Norway, Belgium, the Netherlands, South Africa, and the United States. The SDN listing notes Boukich is also known as "Abu Sulayman Alholandi" and "Muhammad Babili."
Two Turkish MSBs, Spider Gayrimenkul Ve Genel Ticaret Limited Sirketi and Alkaram Danismanlik Gayrimenkul Ic Ve Dis Genel Ticaret Limited Sirketi, were also designated. Both are owned and controlled by Mohamad Alhmidan, previously designated by OFAC for facilitating logistical and financial support for ISIS and helping foreign terrorist fighters. Spider originated as a hawala operating in Syria, transferring money from ISIS-controlled territory to other regions; Alkaram operates as a front for Spider.
