Title: [2016-05-17] Mitt Romney Tax Record Hacker Sentenced to Prison for Bitcoin Ranso

This is another example of why using Bitcoin for illegal online activity is not a smart decision. Albeit no transaction took place in this Mitt Romney story, Bitcoin is far from anonymous. All transactions are recorded in real–time on the blockchain and anyone in the world can see the origin and destination of all bitcoins in circulation.
