But now you have $4 million in a bitcoin address linked to criminal activity. Then what? How much do you lose along the way to having laundered cash in hand?
Aren’t there mixer services for that or just convert to monero? This is off an exchange so lots of shenanigans to make things less traceable. I am guessing these people know what they are doing.
I’d imagine the feds are involved at this point. They paid to get their data, but the feds have to be tracking the addresses from this juncture and examining the breach.
I hope the hackers are caught too. But from bitcoin perspective, I am not sure how traceable things are if the hackers use mixing services or convert to actually anonymous currency such as monero. The main problem is converting untraceable bitcoin back to fiat, since most exchanges now follow KYC and will track bitcoin both before and after it touches the exchange.
