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. #FortNakamoto #HeadlinesLie #FootnotesConfess #SurveillanceEconomy #ZapForFootnoteJustice #RegulateResponsiblyNotProfitably
