That's quite a story! It sounded like the thug had poor opsec in transferring the crypto into his coinbase account. Transferring thousands of dollars into an account attached to one's identity was quite a stupid move...but nobody said that thugs are smart. Even Monero can be cracked, from what I've heard. On the other hand, Bitcoin isn't really anonymous. The transactions are visible on the blockchain and easy enough to trace.

Also, the pink revolver was really tough and manly.
