Ive been checkin some bitcoin news on deep web.
What do you think about those accounts for sell? If btc is so safe what about those then?

bitcoin account needs some verification like ID, resident address and sometimes a selfie verification is needed to make a cashout request and convert your BTC into fiat currency, others can not conform with these requirements and can't make a cashout request, that's why they are buying those "verified" account to do such things.

The guys on the deep web aren't selling the types of accounts you are referring to. They are selling bitcoin addresses (public and private keys) which contain more bitcoin than their are being sold for.

Eg. 12.872btc selling for 6btc

The reason they are willing to lose money is probably because the bitcoins are stolen. Since bitcoins are trackable, the investigators can track it moving around the globe and split between various addresses in different countries until they see it arriving at an exchange or bitcoin ATM. Both of which will have your credentials which are required for you to withdrawal. At that point the police can come knocking on your door and seize them as stolen property.

It's essentially like buying a cheap flatscreen tv off of Craigslist, which unknown to you is stolen. When the Police follow the string of recent owners they will arrive at your door to seize the stolen property, even though you think you are innocent. .

Nice that pretty cheap 12.8 btc for 6btc? i would definitely go there than just going to gambling sites instead.

Are the real owners of those Bitcoin really that hardcore to actually track the bitcoins if getting them into a mixer and then buying different coins and then moving to another exchange? it does look pretty confusing for them to track, are they really that willing to track that the people in the deep web are willing to exchange half its value?
