I'm so happy you asked, @\phantom_computers, you see, many who participated in the online drug market Silk Road & its reiterations have made the same assumptions about crypto. However, they lacked the leverage of a missile campaign, so the US feds clawed back much of the straggler coins over the years. Not anonymous etc at all
