With this scenario, scammers are now extra careful when cashing out their stolen crypto but what I want is they will be all caught with their own mistakes. That's right, we don't need to know about how the police caught them or what strategies they used. because it's crucial tools for their next target and they might fail to track the others. This is how it should be when they publish it, they need to emphasize their criminal act and not to put the blame on bitcoin.
Exactly but they still can use crypto for their nefarious purposes, if you look at bitcoin, it's still a pseudonymous cryptocurrency so the criminals still has a leeway for them to use. Pretty sure that we don't have any clue about how the police work even if they reveal a snippet of their procedure, the people who track down this criminals aren't dumb so we can be assured that they're going to only improve.Criminals will always find one or the other way to continue their activities and we cannot deny the fact it can be used by criminals and others involved in money laundering which cannot be stopped unless crypto is centralized which will make it no different than a bank or stock market. We should be more focussed on the merits of bitcoin and crypto in general because criminals were operating even before the evolution of crypto and will be active even if crypto disappears one day. We have to live with it as too many restrictions or checks will kill the essence of decentralisation.
