Bin Laden was at some point pushed as a freedom fighter hero by the US government: https://www.businessinsider.com/1993-independent-article-abo...

He received plenty of USD in cash delivered in hands by the US government through the three-letter-agencies. These kind of things always happened, it is unfair and incorrect to blame crypto currencies whereas the overwhelming majority of "special operations" continue to be paid today in plain paper money.
