The payments, made by a French donor, of 28.15 bitcoins were made on Dec. 8, the New York-based startup, specializing in countering money laundering and fraud in the digital currency space, said in a blog post. (https://bit.ly/3bG83yE)
Chainalysis said it now has evidence that many alt-right groups and personalities received large bitcoin donations as part of the single transaction.
“We have also gathered evidence that strongly suggests the donor was a now-deceased computer programmer based in France,” Chainalysis said in the report.
Nick Fuentes, who was permanently suspended from YouTube last year for hate speech, received 13.5 bitcoins, worth about $250,000 at the time of the transfer, making him by far the biggest beneficiary of the donation, according to the blog post.
Fuentes could not be reached for a request for comment. (Reporting by Noor Zainab Hussain in Bengaluru; Editing by Shounak Dasgupta)

“The payments, made by a French donor,”………No relation to pro-DemockRats “patriotic” corporates, now all of a sudden supporters of Comrade President Joe Xiden, I guess……
The troll reappears. Russian? … The rich irony: calling president-elect ‘comrade’… Your argot is that of a prepubescent teen…which you probably are. You should return to your video games. And, yes, to report as rote that someone who has done something controversial is ‘now-deceased’ without any accompanying information is pretty indifferent reportage..
