You couldnt be more wrong. We trace it all the time in LE. Its precisely why Silk Road, Silk Road 2, Alpha Bay, et al. are no longer in existence.
Only exchanges are obligated to identify their customers. So once an exchange maps a customers information to a bitcoin address, the transactions to and from that address can be traced.
This is not possible if someone is careful enough to avoid exchanges and trade by hand.
Also Silk Road was shut down because CEO was caught plotting to pay for a murder not bitcoin related
- Greg Thomas of MotherboardSilk Road's day in the sun appears to have come to an end. Feds shut down the darknet drug den this morning and have charged its 29-year-old operator with drug trafficking conspiracy, computer-related fraud, and conspiracy to launder money.

Another article explaining how Bitcoin is trackable, which is what got the laundering charges brought to Ulbricht
........ Anyways...
So now that that's clarified... could we NOT talk about the plusses and minuses of using cryptocurrency to pay players to come to the university? I'd like to avoid another NCAA-wide FBI investigation :whistling:
It's really not hard to stay anonymous with BTC when you transfer fiat to crypto. Just use a coinmixer to eliminate the links between the buyer and the original BTC transaction, then transfer the BTC transfer between different privacy coins, then store the crypto on a paper wallet, and then sell the paper wallet to a buyer in person for cash
Why wouldn't a long corner that's SEC ready body-wise be at the top of our board? The kid can obviously choose where he wants to end up at... and west-coast guys aren't legit targets for us ATM... so I don't count on him coming here... but Pruitt knows the value of winning now and elite JUCO guys are the quickest way to that.
That being said... Bush and Hill still top of my board... obviously I have no idea what Tennessee's is, but I've seen footage of all the guys we're heavy on... and I'm good with any of them... Bush and Hill are just my "I really want these guys"...
I also really want McCullough but it seems like the staff has soured on him for whatever reason...I feel like he's a perfect Warrior replacement...
.........but what do I know? I haven't put 5 DBs in the first round of the NFL draft... so I trust Pruitt on it........ Cam Sutton was a 3 star and he was criminally underdrafted in the 3rd round

It's certainly a lot easier than the old school method of delivering cash via dead drops.
