Bitcoin thief on Bitfinex exchange caught?

[mia_houston]

they were not caught because the blockchain revealed their ID

they were caught because they revealed their ID with exchanges.
where the exchanges noted the funds deposited with them had certain taint path to known stolen funds

Their own mistakes got them caught, even though they committed a crime with enough detail and planned, but they left a trail that the FBI was able to reveal so that it directed evidence to the thief couple, I think no matter how great the theft is but still sooner or later they will leave a trail in its activities, what the FBI has done proves that crypto is not a safe place to carry out criminal activities and all arguments that say crypto can be used as a money laundering tool in my opinion now been refuted by this incident.

You know, this whole thing seems a bit suspicious to me. First of all, those are not the hackers aka the thieves but rather the people who were supposed to launder the money somehow. Looking at the personalities and actions of those individuals, it is obvious that they are idiots. Low IQ mouth breathers who do not have the ability or knowledge on how to safely launder money without being detected. In fact, the girl is such a loudmouth clout-chaser, I am amazed they weren't caught sooner.

No, I suspect the real individuals behind this might have gotten cold feet or something went wrong and they needed a couple of useful idiots to take the fall in their stead. I think thats the most plausible explaination.

I've been reading shady news about this exchange for years, that's why I don't use this exchange, at this point I don't need to worry about them, but what has been making me no sleep Is when they talk for a long time about them and start talking about tether so I start to get worried because I use tether to trade and I can't get used to other stablecoin

Yeah, sometimes we might say we don't believe that some of these exchanges are doing enough to keep investors or traders fund safe but I also believe that hackers are going all out to still have access to these exchanges so I don't think in this case it is a question of this particular exchange. See this List of Cryptocurrency Exchange Hacks and understand that it has been going on for a while now. Anyways, it was good news to know that they were eventually caught.

Caught and, as it has already become known, will be convicted in accordance with what the court proves. So far, he is a suspect, and his girlfriend or wife (I did not fully understand) was released on bail of $ 3 million (where does the money come from?). The guy was left behind bars, apparently he was not given bail. In general, this is a sad story because there are no winners in this situation. Unless only law enforcement agencies who managed to catch the suspects in that historical "theft of the century."
