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.

I don't know what this fool was thinking when he did this. However, in the country where I live now, there was an even funnier story. One of the judges decided that he was very smart and began to take bribes in cryptocurrency. At the same time, when the investigation uncovered his schemes, they found on his work computer, right on his desktop, a folder called "pension".
He had 2718 bitcoins, equivalent to 7.3 billion rubles, and $1.5 million in bribes. And these are not just numbers, but a picturesque illustration of how a person can turn service to the law into a highly profitable startup.
