Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s Finances: A Look into the Resources of the Boston Marathon Bomber
The financial situation of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, one of the perpetrators of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, was characterized by a lack of substantial personal wealth and a reliance on scholarships, odd jobs, and potentially, undocumented sources of funding. Understanding his financial circumstances offers insight into the resources available to him and his brother, Tamerlan, in planning and executing the attack.
At the time of the bombing, Dzhokhar was a student at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. He had received a $2,500 scholarship from the city of Cambridge, Massachusetts, reflecting his academic achievements at Cambridge Rindge and Latin School. This scholarship, along with other forms of financial aid, likely covered a portion of his tuition and living expenses. However, scholarships rarely cover all costs associated with higher education, suggesting Dzhokhar likely relied on other sources of income.
Reports indicated that Dzhokhar worked various part-time jobs to supplement his scholarship and financial aid. These jobs likely included delivering pizzas, a common occupation for students seeking to earn extra money. The income from such jobs would have been relatively modest, providing funds for everyday expenses and potentially contributing to a small savings pool.
The investigation into the bombing revealed that Tamerlan, Dzhokhar’s older brother, may have been the primary source of funds for acquiring the materials used in the explosives. Tamerlan, who was unemployed at the time, had previously engaged in amateur boxing and traveled to Russia’s Dagestan region in 2012. The source of Tamerlan’s funds during this trip and afterwards remained a subject of speculation. Some theories suggested that he may have received financial assistance from radicalized networks or other unknown sources. If Tamerlan was indeed the financier of the bombing, the source of his funds, regardless of its origin, would be directly tied to the resources available to Dzhokhar.
While Dzhokhar’s direct financial resources were limited, the cost of the materials used in the pressure cooker bombs was not exorbitant. The bombs were constructed using readily available, inexpensive materials such as pressure cookers, ball bearings, and gunpowder, which could be purchased with relatively small amounts of cash. The accessibility and affordability of these components made it possible for individuals with limited means to create destructive devices.
In conclusion, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s personal finances were modest, relying on scholarships and part-time work. The source of funding for the bomb materials remains a subject of inquiry, with evidence suggesting that Tamerlan may have been the primary financier. Regardless of the specific source, the relatively low cost of the materials used in the bombing highlights the danger posed by readily available components that can be combined to create acts of terror.
