Jason Brown, 37, is accused of providing $1,500 to a confidential informant with the understanding that the money would be wired to a front-line ISIS soldier.
"Brown is believed to use his position as the leader of the AHK street gang to actively recruit and radicalize AHK members and others to support ISIS," court documents say.
Throughout 2019, court documents referenced several interactions between Brown and the first informant to whom he had professed his radicalization in Georgia state prison. These interactions, as recorded in Scherer's affidavit, revealed Brown's persistent desire to either join ISIS or provide the organization with material support.
When the informant told Brown a story about a child of the purported"cousin" dying as a martyr in Syria, Brown was said to have replied that the informant should be proud. At one point he told the ISIS-fighter"cousin" in a text message that"I'm jealous in a good way at your actions... They surely need to be acknowledged, praised and worship ."
Brown was also keenly aware of the possibility that his activities were being monitored, part of the reason why he delegated his cash payments to the informant rather than conduct the financial transactions himself.
