1. To launder that much money, you'd have to be moving a LOT of bitcoins. Regularly. If the total market cap of crypto is only 165 billion, and of that only 94 billion, we're talking about very noticeable amounts being laundered. Even taking into account a $5000 Bitcoin value, to move 1 million dollars requires 200 Bitcoins. And we know the industry is moving hundreds of millions a month. Those Bitcoin volumes moving into USB wallets are going to be very easy to detect. Getting someone to SELL you those Bitcoins is going to be hard to find. Exchanges as we know them are going to be very difficult as well.
See, if you're moving millions of fiat in a global market of 100s of trillions, it's a speck. Perhaps when Bitcoin is valued at 100,000, it may become more viable.
This. It's easier to launder money through a legit business, or use cash, than bitcoin. Bitcoin is too small, and the public ledger means that if your address is tied to a persona, you are toast.
Guys, I would not even have thought about what Bitcoin could be related to drugs or trading a weapon. You should understand that such events can only harm us and the whole of the Crypto-currency. Another would not be enough to see the crypto currency in financing terrorism. Then I think that the whole world can oppose the crypto currency in general. This is even frightening to think about.
