Translation: someone with a lot of illegal money is buying stupid jobs like 'counting pigeons' on a marketplace, but the person doing the work is a different account owned by the same person.
This is how money laundering works.
Dirty money in, bullshit job in the middle, clean money out.
I mean, crypto does the job cleaner and faster. Stablecoins, in particular, are fantastic at spin-cycling dirty cash. Hell, half the time the money never gets "dirty" to begin with, since there's no real tangible relationship between the transaction and the crime.
Umm..wut? Crypto is a public ledger.
Or are you suggesting that there exists privacy coins that are stable coins?!
It's an enormous maze of transitions between vaguely defined parties.
