    how would that work exactly..do they trade the crypto to other countries for more useful currency?

      Probably one of the most blatant points against it being true. Either it’s false or some jackass bought enough crypto to fund a government missile program from a super shady source

      Edit: hilarious and terrifying third option is that there are weapons dealers accepting crypto as payment

        definitely true. if you're using drug money, you obviously want weapons. if you are an arms dealer and your biggest customers start offering you a new currency that the feds won't track, you'd obviously take it.

        Money laundering through Crypto banks has been a thing for over a decade now. The whole thing is mobbed up, when it isn't six scams stacked on top of each other.

      I imagine you keep passing monero around until somebody buys drugs with it and the drug dealer would spin it into shit that they sell on exchanges
