Crypto (except for a couple of privacy tokens like Monero) would be an especially bad for money laundering. Unlike unmarked bills or gold, crypto is directly traceable. Any media reports telling you that criminals use crypto to launder money is akin to the media telling you plastic guns (like Glocks) are undetectable in airport metal scanners....ie laughably untrue and born of their complete ignorance.
that’s an especially bad choice for money laundering.
mea culpa.
