JCC bomb hoaxer made millions selling forged docs online — report
2017-04-07
This story is no longer about antisemitic threats, nor even about Israel -- and with each revelation it has become stranger and stranger.
[IsraelTimes] After finding his bitcoin account, Sherlocks believe Israeli-American teen sold counterfeit IDs on dark net for cryptocurrency.

The Israeli-American teenager behind hundreds of hoax bomb threats against Jewish institutions in the US reportedly earned millions of shekels’ worth of digital currency by selling counterfeit documents over the internet.

Police suspect the 18-year-old -- whose name is sealed under gag order in Israel -- sold forged identity cards, passports and driver’s licenses over both the internet and the dark net in exchange for bitcoins, a cryptocurrency often used in illicit transactions online, according to a Channel 2 report Thursday.

A solid point, Skidmark. But even if he only made US $500,000, that's an awful lot of money for an autistic 18 year old who can't hope to work at McDonalds. No wonder his parents didn't know what he was doing -- they never got the bills.
