15:07:55 <bridgerton[m]> <ian.niculescu> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjMQ8FEPNwY&ab_channel=TimcastIRL look at 7:35,the guy is trying to introduce private crypto in the mind of Tim.
15:10:30 <bridgerton[m]> <ian.niculescu> so they mention Monero
15:27:21 <freestatemag[m]> <bridgerton[m]> "<ian.niculescu> https://www...." <- Trudeau is much worse than I ever imagined...sad thing is biden is just the same
15:34:18 <mossfoldlotter> Did that Bitcoin laundering couple really use Monero? I didn't see that mentioned anywhere
15:36:48 <bridgerton[m]> <ian.niculescu> yes they did to launder the btc.
15:37:32 <bridgerton[m]> <ian.niculescu> it was in the paper on the graphs
15:37:42 <bridgerton[m]> <ian.niculescu> dash was also mentionned
15:38:09 <bridgerton[m]> <ian.niculescu> but they had no trails of the xmr transactions
15:38:58 <bridgerton[m]> <ian.niculescu> what i think they did, is exchange the dirty btc for monero, and then deposited the xmr into exchanges to get btc.
16:34:11 <bridgerton[m]> <𝙲𝙴𝚁𝚄𝙻𝙴𝙾𝚄𝚂> so they traced the XMR?
16:34:16 <bridgerton[m]> <𝙲𝙴𝚁𝚄𝙻𝙴𝙾𝚄𝚂> going from one exchange to another?
16:45:16 <bridgerton[m]> <ian.niculescu> they only traced the bitcoin to exchanges with KYC from what I understand. And on those exchanges the feds saw deposits in xmr, comming from nowhere. The likely answer is that the criminals used some sort of btc-xmr swap to get xmr. and then deposited that xmr on exchanges. So the feds only tracked btc.I might be wrong about this, but this is what i understand.
19:06:38 <sgp_[m]1> The monero.social Matrix server will have downtime as well today, starting in approximately 1-2 hours. It is being moved to a dedicated AMD EPYC server. Apologies for the short notice. It should take less than 4 hours for the transition to occur. The Monero group chats will remain accessible from other Matrix servers during the downtime, including matrix.org. Thank you.
20:24:09 <nikg83[m]> <bridgerton[m]> "<ian.niculescu> they only traced..." <- They probably saw xmr withdrawals to exchange from alphabay logs 
22:44:44 <selsta> nikg83[m]: they had all exchange login details
22:49:45 <nikg83[m]> selsta: Yep, but hacked-btc to xmr to exchange was provable if they transferred directly (or eabe) and found the same from alphabay logs 
22:49:45 <nikg83[m]> Some news articles do point to alphabay logs being used 
22:50:43 <selsta> the government didn't do any tracing how the XMR got into the exchange
22:51:05 <selsta> if they did tracing the PDFs don't disclose it but there was no reason to in the first place
23:18:33 <sgp_[m]1> also they didn't seem to decrypt the monero wallet, because "unknown about of monero"
23:24:07 <sgp_[m]1> the simplest explanation is just that they traced the bitcoin backwards
