How do people normally get caught?

I read articles periodically about people getting 'traced' using bitcoin while buying things on the 'darkweb'..... And considering how tor/bitcoin is supposed to be 'untraceable'.... how is it possible these people are getting caught... or rather 'why' do you THINK they are getting caught?

Its more down to IRL mistakes which leads to somebody's DNM activities being uncovered. Not online opsec such as not tumbling or using Tails etc.

Also TOR and BTC is not untraceable.

Also, bitcoin is not as near anonymous as some people seem to think.

bitcoin is traceable...but pretty much only if you've given someone a reason to want to trace yours.

if you're just getting personal use amounts of drugs sent to your mail box just like all your other mail... and don't tell every loose-lipped moron you know about it..you won't get caught.

if you graduate to dealing/trafficking amounts then you should always have it in the back of your head you might get caught at any moment. it seems like everyone who gets caught likes to stockpile weapons i've noticed too lol
