I wonder how they came up with the findings of the case, though, considering that Bitcoin transactions are heavily encrypted. Hence, how can they even conduct investigations? Did they utilize the blockchain technology to gather data or are there other things behind it? Nonetheless, I think this case will be heavily reviewed later on because of its pioneering character worth revisiting all over again. |
