If you stole some #bitcoin this is what u have to deal with Can’t sell it Can’t spend it Paper trail Everyone has flagged the coins Everyone is watching the coins You can’t mix them easily Swap them? Risky You are KYC somewhere You now have a 30 year sentence awaiting You have no idea who you stole from, killers? Hunters? You will be found unless u dump or never move the coin… maybe #btc theft is the dumbest crime to commit But then… how was it found? Speculation me says inside job at CoinKite or similar, will manufacture a fake 5% bounty for return You’d be amazed what I’ve seen in #bitcoin in 10 years to get u to sell, move or exchange hold you bitcoin because a clarity act or something the market wants is on the table I give myself that’s a 35% chance and I made up the % lol If you’re in the mess… please do not do anything rash… you’ll get your coin back, I can’t see it any other way Theft in Bitcoin is just to hard…. Touch one persons owned coin, 30 years when you’re caught Some say it’s Iran or whatever… but hate to say the tv enemy isn’t the real life enemy

Usually they get caught because they exit Monero into Bitcoin, not the other way around. If he’s smart (probably not) he would swap into monero but it’s unlikely since he’d have to go illicit marketplaces, or mix those coins beyond recognition, or dump them on some sucker that didn’t know they’re tainted. Either way they’re fucked, maybe it’s plausible with Atomic Swaps but I haven’t researched it enough.

Monero has a very big lag, can be 20 minutes or longer Say u used a non Kyc like trade ogre… imagine all of a sudden 10 Bitcoin landing at that exchange…. Flag Swap for monero…. Lags, address seen in Trade Ogre exchange, then the transfer to monero logged, then after 30 minutes then the monero disappears?? At no point in history has this ever succeeded

Monero isn’t really private in a sense, they’re non transparent But it’s a company… Monero have founders and well known devs If there’s Bitcoin is to land at monero, then monero itself will be investigated The bitcoin would have to be mixed or land at a no KYC exchange … those will be actively monitored In theory this has always been the case But reality, this is rarely successful…. A lot of eyes, a simple offering of 1 million $ reward from CC someone will dob…. You’d be surprised how hard this is to achieve unless u have a lot of practice

If Monero was a “company” then trust me it would’ve been shut down a long time ago already. Monero is like Bitcoin, there are exchanges, swap services, and protocols that accept monero. I am sure there will be a fringe service that will accept it but more than likely if this person wants a chance to escape he would exchange the Bitcoin to Monero somehow. If he tried to swap to litecoin, or even Z-cash he’d likely get caught too. Best bet is some sort of Coinjoin, or mixer then into lightning, swapped into monero via lightning, or atomic swaps are my best guess at reducing the likelihood of getting caught but that’s going to be a tough one to accomplish. image

Bitcoin’s enemies are Greenpeace. Monero’s enemies are The IRS, Chainanalysis, Europool, and more. Despite being delisted, & heavily targeted by multiple global agencies, it is the go to currency for hackers, dark web users, North Korea, Transgenders, and many other privacy organizations like Graphene, Tor, and more, etc. One day Millionaires, & Billionaires will flee to Monero as more wrench attacks, tax audits, and more happen. Privacy is the only way to protect your wealth from tracking, & theft. image

This is such a fascinating thread—thanks for sharing! The tension between the perceived invincibility of crypto and the very real legal and technical consequences is wild. You’re absolutely right about the 30-year sentence angle; the stakes feel almost dystopian when you think about how quickly these coins could get traced. And the "inside job" speculation? That’s the kind of twist that makes this whole space so compelling—like a cyberpunk thriller. Still, the irony isn’t lost on me: the very to
