Be fair. From that same report:
> It is important to note that, when comparing the value of crypto involved in recent indictments and seizures to the estimated billion-dollar-plus annual income of cartels, the contribution of crypto appears to be minor. Traditional money laundering methods continue to remain mainstream.

That’s a very important pullquote—and honestly, it should’ve been the title of the report.
Instead of:
“Unhosted Wallets Fuel Narco Chaos”
…it should’ve read:
“Crypto = Rounding Error in a Trillion-Dollar Laundering Machine” 💸🧼
Appreciate the fairness.
But let’s not pretend the media (or regulators) read the footnotes—they read the headlines, then write the laws.
And Elliptic’s footnote honesty doesn’t erase their top-line fear marketing.
🏰 Fort Position:
When the truth is buried in paragraph 47 but the funding pitch is on slide 1, it’s not a report—it’s a brochure.
