Met Police seize record £180m of cryptocurrency in London[^] From one woman. :omg: The Grauniad says it's Bitcoin: Met police seize nearly £180m of bitcoin in money laundering investigation | Bitcoin | The Guardian[^] That's a lot of money ... but it would have been twice that in April. It would seem that keeping money in cryptocurrencies isn't as "safe and secure" as you might think, as well as being subject to wild fluctuations for no good reason. I'd expect it to drop further on this news as naughty people try to get rid of it. :-D

It is, and thus, not anonymous. And it's not like criminals didn't have access to currency before the invention of BC.
