Why criminals can't hide behind Bitcoin

The beauty of Bitcoin, from a detective’s point of view, is that the blockchain records all. “If you catch a dealer with drugs and cash on the street, you’ve caught them committing one crime,” Meiklejohn says. “But if you catch people using something like Silk Road, you’ve uncovered their whole criminal history,” she says. “It’s like discovering their books.”

Of course if the criminal knows how to actually use bitcoin then you will have no clue what has happened and no records of any value remain. Fortunately, criminals are generally quite stupid.
