This won’t be the last. They’ve extracted a huge amount of data from all these operations.

Blend in with the crowd.

No, won't be the last. Treasure trove of criminal intelligence - financial crime included - has been gathered. A unique historical occassion that authorities have perfect understanding how the underground functions. Everybody should pay attention what they are writing.

This is a consequence that should have been expected when it comes to what type of people establishes and operates those kind of networks and what type of dumbasses uses it.

I'm sick of incognizant people asking about or contemplating anonimity and privacy here at OCT as well while using iPhones and paying with crypto debit cards

Real world is cruel and is crumbling down on dumbasses.

The investigation did not spotlight the similarly-named Matrix open source communication protocol.

We should start throwing people in jail for unoriginal product names.

Most so called secure encryption is rubbish and simply a way of aggregating people - who think they have something to hide - in one group, so easier to identify and listen in on them and track.
