[QUOTE="MuzzMelbourne, post: 1073700, member: 94561"] So... he used Monero to 'wash' the Bitcoin, but it was the Bitcoin that gave his identity up, NOT the Monero. Also, 'timestamping' is a well known traceability problem and any decent 'crook' ensures there is no time synchronisation during transactions, Whonix and TAILS both specifically avoid accurate timestamping for this reason. The outcome may have been different had he used TOR as well. IMO, the guy made rooky mistake and they were lucky. Had it been a single fully Monero transaction, he'd still be out there scamming.
