I know that this place is very touchy about crypto other than bitcoin, but it is worth mentioning that Monero is available to use on alphabay and is untraceable. No tumbing required to maintain total privacy.

I think the most interesting thing in this article is the mentioning of a system that cross references blockchain data with known bitcoin buyers and sellers. Things like this just get better over time. It also makes you wonder how complicit companies were in making such a list. Who knows how advanced it is but the fact such a thing exists is worry enough for me.

Article is pretty lame almost stating that Bitcoin is useless for criminal activity. Most these issues so far are easily bypassed just by using Tails. Furthermore LE can't trace or match transactions to your Bitcoin wallet if A) you use electrum Tails B) tumble effectively and C) practice proper OPSEC when withdrawing your money. These new methods the LE are using are very effective in busting lame ass vendors who don't have proper OPSEC ethics. And if all else fails, currencies like Monero can fix the issue.
If anything, LE are getting better and better at busting half assed vendors which is a good thing. But idk, if I'm wrong please do let me know.
