I’m not sure about this. Getting the money is the hardest part of any crime. It’s easy to plant bombs somewhere and demand cash to stop. The hard part is other than BitCoin almost any other way of collecting the money will get you caught.

Lengthy article from another guy who can’t even explain Bitcoin in a simple paragraph.

It’s safer buying tulips.

Ransomware predates crypto by well over a decade. So yes banning BitCoin won’t touch it.

The ransomware story continued, with the news that the FBI caught the alleged ransomwarists, and recovered at least most of the money paid.

So, no, BTC will not shield ransomists.
