The war against DAESH takes different approaches: direct war was launched across Iraq and northeastern Syria; an extinction war marked with control, prudence and caution against the DAESH followers around the world. The global coalition and affiliated partners remain vigilant as they target and launch an all-out attack against DAESH. This report issued by “the Program on Extremism at George Washington University” on September 2020, and developed by LORENZO VIDINO, JON LEWIS and ANDREW MINES, addresses the financial component of the DAESH-related mobilization in the U.S. between 2013 and 2020 with a special attention attached to the funding facts related to about 209 individuals charged with DAESH related cases, or those who were sentenced in the USA for their involvement in terrorism. It seems most of them left behind noticeable traces of their funding, their intention to join DAESH, carry out local attacks or provide support for DAESH. Most of the American supporters of DAESH have been involved in financial crimes in small amounts and in easy-to-do ways.
