The police officer was reported that he used mixers to split the stolen bitcoin into smaller amounts, transferring the coins through crypto exchanges and prepaid cards to block the trace, but at last he was known.

Some people may not know that bitcoin can be traced to someone if the government wants to trace it. This is not the first time such bad actors are known.

It's interesting to see how technology is used to expose a chameleon like this police officer, police by day and a thief at night. This will also serve as a lesson for those who believe they can they can commit fraudulent act with BTC and get away with it. Be wise and desist from fraud!
