“This is the story of the revelation in late 2013 that Bitcoin was, in fact, the opposite of untraceable—that its blockchain would actually allow researchers, tech companies, and law enforcement to trace and identify users with even more transparency than the existing financial system.”

    I have never even heard of any of the publicly available blockchain forensics databases, or reviewed any of the ample examples of reporting and analysis on the subject.

    That’s not what I asked about and you know it.

    I asked how you know about vendor money laundering techniques, which you failed to provide a source for.

    it’s extremely well covered

    If that’s the case, then you should be able to easily provide a source instead of flailing around like you’re doing now.

    so stop being a lazy twat and look for yourself.

    You made the claim. You provide the source or you admit you’re making stuff up.

      Are you actually asking someone to prove that large darknet market drug dealers use money laundering to safely access their profits?

      It sounds like what you really want is someone to explain to you how it’s done successfully…if you’re that desperate to learn, take it to Dread and off Lemmy.

            Are you going to link to a specific post, or just the whole forum and pretend that satisfies the criteria of ‘source’?

            Hey guys! I found a source for everything! It’s called Google. Just cite it at the end of all your papers.

            Why is it so difficult for you people to admit you make stuff up without a source? Lol.

              You’re something special.

              Okay kid, if this was all about you wanting to feel like you won an argument because people are declining to act as your personal Spotify Crime Explained playlist generator, then you win.
