Cryptocurrencies are what allows criminals to scale these attacks. They also significantly decrease the risk of getting caught, compared to accepting cash in a briefcase.

I’m not sure what point you are trying to make.

If they haven't yet, give it a little time. Fucking with US oil supplies is a really good way to get the opportunity to feel the full engine of US intelligence and military might.
