As in, they could have easily stopped many of these hacks, even after they were discovered, but they have zero clue about what to do about them, so they let the money escape, which means crypto to cash through the normal banking system.
Short story:
I had a job offer from one of these financial law enforcement agencies, specifically focused on preventing and tracking crypto hackers. It was rescinded by the new administration due to a mission change in the organization, refocusing on revenue through regulatory enforcement and surveillance rather than protecting Americans from theft and violence.
In reality, calling them incompetent may be charitable. The simplest explanation is that they are profit-driven, and frankly don’t care about any actual harm.
The money from these hacks often goes toward torturing the North Korean people, funding terror against American interests, or supporting violent drug cartels. One of the few things that angers me is that the only thing they are doing about it, is using it to further their surveillance agenda against Americans.
That’s the measure I use.
