Using a bitcoin washing service and then sending the proceeds from the bitcoin transactions to your bank account is not exactly trying to conceal the activity.


Trying ineptly is still trying.

Monero laundering, or holding it for a while. Get too greedy and move too quickly, likely to stumble

I wonder if the FBI has an automated system for monitoring bitcoin addresses that are associated with investigations that went cold possibly years ago, and as such no longer have the active attention of any [human] agents. Probably, right? It seems like it would be a good idea anyway.


Are there any reliable and trustworthy Monero exchanges that allow anonymity? Not even Coinbase supports Monero, and Kraken requires identification.
