  Or nearly impossible, as evidenced by the litany of small-time vendors who have been operating for years.

    You said drug empires, not guy selling 8 balls and 10 packs on a darknet market.

    I’m not going to provide sourcing for my throw away comment, take it, or leave it, doesn’t really matter to me.

      Yeah, because those are the ones LE focuses on. So we can agree that players both big and small are not easily traceable.

      Lol, okay. You can just admit you don’t have one.

        You got me, I’m just making this shit up. I have never even heard of any of the publicly available blockchain forensics databases, or reviewed any of the ample examples of reporting and analysis on the topic.

        If this was some obtuse or obscure subject, I’d take the time to cite sources, but it’s not, it’s extremely well covered, so stop being a lazy twat and look for yourself.
