ON 15 January 2021, an exclusive piece of news was shared by yahoo news that someone made a simultaneous transfer of 28.15 bitcoins, which worth more than 500,000 US dollars, to 22 different virtual wallets on December 8, 2020, a month before the Capitol Hill invasion by extremist Trump supporters. US law enforcing agencies and cryptocurrency researchers suspect that these donations are linked to the January 6 assault on the US Capitol Hill. Chainalysis, which maintains a repository of information about public cryptocurrency exchanges and whose tools aid in government, law enforcement and private sector investigations, revealed that prominent US right-wing websites received these generous donations from a bitcoin account linked to a French cryptocurrency exchange.
