However, criminals will always find ways to pursue their crimes so we can't blame crypto for it.
Criminals will find what to rely on as always. They are experts in technology usage. This is why you see them in every aspect of life. You are right too, they fall on bitcoin and rely on mixer to cover races despite the anonymity.
Not a brainer thing that these hackers is already aware on what should be done first before on making such attempt of hacking something.Of course they would always mind off or their first priority
to erase up their tracks.Its impossible for them not to think that bitcoin transactions arent traceable and this is where Mixers do serve one of its purpose.
We have seen several cases where Chainalysis did really successfully trace up some transactions back in the past where it did really result for knowing someone on said transaction.
Yeah, there are some full anonymous coins out there but there's no doubt that they will always end up on Bitcoin in the end of the day when making out conversions to fiat.
This isnt something new.
