We regularly read FUD articles in the popular media about Bitcoin being used in scams and that it is a perfect tool for scammers to hide their activities and the movie industry already labelled Bitcoin as the Internet of Money for the DarkNet. 
I am currently watching a series called, "Undercover: Nailing the Fraudsters" and most of the scams featured there are done within a regulated environment. Boiler room scammers are not requesting payment in Crypto currencies to hide their activities, they get the victims to deposit money via their Bank accounts into their Bank accounts.
In business, the term boiler room refers to an outbound call center selling questionable investments by telephone. It usually refers to a room where salesmen work using unfair, dishonest sales tactics, sometimes selling penny stocks, private placements or committing outright stock fraud. - Source : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler_room_(business)
So, next time when someone tells you that Crypto currencies are used for scams, please highlight the fact that most scams are still being done under the nose of the regulated financial industry.

All they want is to make image of bitcoin very bad, that's all. Everyone knows history of deutche bank and others, how well were millions laundered. But no, bitcoin is still main target.
Then logically linux is an operating system that supports scammers + VPN and proxies are automatically in list. But if we think like them, then it seems electricity is an huge supporter of scam/criminal. When it is at night, you can do bad things online, when it's not available at night, it's easier to steal/robe and etc. Very illogical.
