You did the right thing, the article is not worth reading. I still think that the amount of money being laundered by crypto is insignificant.
Yeah, the amount is insignificant if you compare it to fiat which has been used since years ago. Using crypto to launder your money might give you another problem such as how to liquidate it to cash, so that's another problem.
Tbh this kind of report is 'outdated' already, everybody knows that crypto can be used for that, almost every kind of crypto can. But why put the weight on Bitcoin? Why not investigate other privacy-focused coins? The agenda is clear imo.
