Well, yesterday there was a thread on this forum saying only 1% of total bitcoin usage is related to illegal activity. It looks like you have found one of these few criminals using bitcoin which belongs to this tiny 1%. If we compare this percentage with the percentage of illegal activity though fiat currency we will conclude bitcoin is much less used in a wrong way than fiat.

Bitcoin illicit transactions are less than 1%
