Blood and Soil - Episode 3 “The Money"

Blood and Soil | Episode 3: "The Money"

In 1984, Robert Mathews and The Order robbed a Brinks truck on a California highway and walked away with $3.6 million. The men went to prison. The money went to work.

Episode 3 traces how white nationalist financing evolved from armed robbery to donor-advised funds at Fidelity and Vanguard, a Christian crowdfunding platform that raised over six million dollars for extremist causes, and privacy coins that leave no transaction record.

The funding model didn't collapse. It learned.

Runtime: 22 minutes. All facts sourced from federal court records, ADL and SPLC research, Chainalysis reports, and FinCEN filings.
