Turkey on Nostr: Has anyone been arrested using Bitcoin that wasn't trying to sell to exchange or ...
Has anyone been arrested using Bitcoin that wasn't trying to sell to exchange or transferred directly from an exchange. I was looking at some of the silk road stuff. I'm was able to find that people that bought things with funds that they sent directly from exchange or the seller turned around and cashed out on exchange where arrested. I also saw several other cases where that happened too. I'm just looking for an example of someone that was arrested when neither party doxxed themselves in the transaction.
Like a drug dealer or hacker or whatever was arrested because they where able to find them just through chain analysis not because that person turned around and sold on Coinbase. I could see someone using the same wallet for their KYC coins and their nonKYC coins getting tracked. I'm not trying to have a debate about it or argue with anyone, I'm just looking for information.
