This is the most important sign of the "importance" of bitcoin in our days. People don't want more fiat money but bitcoin. Even the evildoers. Remain the questions: for what he wanted bitcoin and not fiat money. Maybe to save that bitcoins with the hope of the increased price of it compare to the fiat money and then with that money pay the college of the son....
he just needs to create a bitcoin address which takes less than a second with just one click, and then he only has to wait till they send him the desired amount. it leaves no trails or whatever that might point into his real life information. easy.
