Again, I follow the theory of honeypot when it comes to cryptocurrency. The participants believe that they can evade law enforcement scrutiny but they have no evidence, only what they are being told by "gurus" and "experts".
Likely the value here is counter-intelligence. You know that unsavoury characters like to hide their transactions. Now throw cryptos in the mix which becomes the weakest link.
There used to be more secure and traditional ways of laundering money like inflated real estate. Good example is Vancouver, BC which actually got a money laundering technique named after the city who has for the most part been unwilling to investigate because almost the entirety of their tax revenues come from the real estate market.
The Vancouver Model's rise [1], bitcoin, real estate market, gang activity all seem heavily correlated. But Mark Twain said something about people looking the other way if they were paid to.
