I've taken the time to thoroughly read this scam report and honestly, my first thought is why the frick does gofry47 keeps repeating he's been using his BTC on the darknet.
Not only is this dumb as BTC is even more traceable than it was in 2019 it's incredibly foolish to admit on a public forum you were even on the darknet buying things.
Law enforcement can literally request information from Changenow.io about his BTC addresses and investigate the trail with chainanalysis among other tools specifically made to trace...get this, Darknet Users!!!
I get he's emotional about potentially never seeing his BTC again alongside changenow.io also making a mistake in their own right but it's never a smart idea to casually say multiple times you were on the darknet buying things using a traceable currency.
Him spending the BTC on the darknet then trying to exchange that same BTC to XMR this just opens up all these possibilities and ideas for why he's doing this...
I agree, gofry47's move is not so smart, but that's up to him. If the law enforcement agencies catch up with him, he will only have himself to blame.
What I don't like is Changenow not acting responsible and sending the money they illegal held for three years. If they don't like the idea of using a new address to send the funds, then why don't they just send the 3 BTC to the first address gofry47 used back then?
If gofry47 doesn't have access to the address, again, that's up to him.
