BlockBeats News, July 9th. According to an official announcement from the U.S. Department of Justice, a 26-year-old man from Michigan, Jibreel Pratt, today pleaded guilty to two charges, including intending to donate cryptocurrency to the foreign terrorist organization ISIS. Under the plea agreement, in February 2023, Pratt engaged in a conversation with a confidential informant whom he believed could assist him in traveling abroad to join ISIS.
