Using a throwaway for obvious reasons... As someone who has been convicted of a financial crime (theft of funds from an association account due in part to a gambling addiction). The key word in your statement is "YOU". My sentence/deal involved restitution from my own funds. If I'd taken some of the money I took and put it into crypto, that would be -used- to make my victims whole, but it wouldn't be considered me making recompense, because the money I put into crypto would have been ill-gotten, and as such any gains were not mine to give. That very much made a difference to the discussions between my attorney and the prosecutor.
