    Don’t know what to tell you, but crypto is constantly being used for illegal activities, and I have yet to hear of any big busts resulting from the use of crypto.

      That says more about your hearing than anything else.

        Cool. Do you have any sources of blockchain being used to nab drug dealers? Would love to read into that.

            From what I can see actual blockchain didn’t find anyone who used the website or bought drugs. The only listed arrests (unless I missed some) were the webmaster himself, who was found using a honeypot, an Australian who had their drugs found and then their silk road account was found, and the only bitcoin was from someone who hacked the silk road and had it later seized by the government.
