Criminals are now realising that Bitcoin is not on their sides, atleast not like the likes of Fiat currency.
It's easier to get bursted doing your crime using Bitcoin as your means of payment, it's only criminals with zero knowledge that will choose Bitcoin as their money for funding their crime.
The power that Bitcoin gives us has never been seen before, if someone told you in 2005 that sooner we will start seeing the worth of our leaders you will say impossible.
Today we can know how much Trump Bitcoin wallet is worth, the more popular you are in this world the easier it is to figure your Bitcoin worth, unless you don't share your address at all, this is the only way your identity remain unknown.
Who dares go to the bank and ask for a governer's bank account balance? But now we can know because BTC is open source and traceable, isn't Fiat the perfect one for crime than Bitcoin? With power you can be dirty with Fiat, but not Bitcoin, you will eventually be bursted.
Making it the wrong place for crime to exists.
Probably, for this purpose, one could use not just a single address but create many and split the funds into a large number of transactions and addresses. Of course, this makes things more complicated, but the address won’t become large enough to attract the attention of platforms that monitor big wallets. I think scammers can use both fiat and Bitcoin for their schemes. The most important thing is to plan everything carefully and act cautiously. But the crucial point is that traces will still remain, and later it’ll be possible to follow them back to the origin.
