CEP Research Analyst Gregory Waters interviewed: "The important thing here, I think, is that it's not necessarily about the truffles. It's that civilians in this area have been targeted by ISIS for many years, both during and outside of truffle hunting season. They're kind of trapped in between this battle taking place since 2018 between ISIS fighters and the Syrian regime, ever since the Syrian regime retook territorial control in central Syria. The truffle hunting brings civilians deep into the remote areas of central Syria, where the risk of them stumbling upon an ISIS camp or a convoy of ISIS fighters is really high. So when they come out looking for truffles, ISIS goes and murders them to basically stop them from potentially finding out where ISIS members are and informing the regime."

"'Violence is the underlying feature of all of this,' said Joshua Fisher-Birch, an analyst for the Counter Extremism Project, a non-profit that combats extremist groups.

"Hany Farid, senior adviser for the Counter Extremism Project and a computer-science professor at UC Berkeley, provided me with a different car analogy involving a landmark case that wrought reform in the auto industry. The first round of Ford Pinto cars on the market, those that came to define the ’70s with their muted earth tones and buggy headlights, were faultily designed: The gas tank was in the wrong place, cars were exploding if they were hit in just the right spot, and people were dying. 'And what the car company said is, "Okay, we have two options: We can either recall all these cars, fix the gas tanks, and send ’em back out. It’s gonna cost us X million dollars. Or we can just leave them as it is — let the people die, and we’ll settle the lawsuits. And that will cost us less,"' said Farid. 'So that’s what they did.'"

CEP Senior Director Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler writes: "While regulators and policymakers dither and try to decide if cryptocurrencies have a future in the economy, early adopters, including terrorists and violent extremists, are exploiting a law enforcement blind spot. The ease by which money laundering and terrorism financing take place with cryptocurrencies and the more dangerous privacy coins are becoming a security threat of our own making through bureaucratic inaction."
