🎓 Call them Dr Paternoster and Dr Nicolazzo now: PhDs in criminology achieved after years of hard work and curiosity at Transcrime. Well done, you two. We’re proud of you! 👏 🍾@CaterinaPatern1 @giovannicolaz_

🌍 Why this matters: Our findings challenge the narrative that FinTechs are the main enabler of terrorist financing. But we can't be complacent - the future is uncertain.

Why aren't FinTechs more popular with terrorists? - Technical challenges (managing crypto wallets). - Regulatory oversight (increased scrutiny of blockchain transactions). - Ideological resistance (preference for familiar methods).

What did we find? - Traditional methods (banks, shell companies) are still king (93% of cases). - FinTechs play a small role (7%): mostly crypto & online payments (e.g., PayPal). - No sign of advanced techniques (mixers, tumblers).

💡 Key knowledge gaps: 1 - Speculation vs. evidence: Are terrorists really using crypto & NFTs? We need data, not assumptions! 2 - Traditional methods dominate research, but what about FinTech adoption? 3 - Why aren't terrorists using these tools more?

🚨 Bridging the Knowledge Gap in Terrorist Financing & FinTechs 🚨 With the rise of financial technologies (#FinTechs), there's growing concern they might be misused by terrorists. But how big is this problem, really? 🤔 Our new study takes a closer look: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Actors with 'tactical' roles, responsible for attacks, had lower involvement in criminal activities, particularly violent crimes. @WeAreTandF @ascterrorism

Facilitators in #Terrorists cells had a strong link to market-based crimes, playing a key role in #TerroristAttack. Centrality metrics alone may not capture the full complexity of an actor’s role.
