  I'm downvoting you because an estimated 3% to 5% of the world's entire GDP is linked to criminal activities (official CIA factbook numbers). Bitcoin doesn't even register on the radar of money laundering. And only the dumbest of the dumbest criminals leave traces in a public ledger, especially now that several companies do specialize into analyzing these public ledgers to find evidence of criminal conducts.
