Fiat money is harder to steal because you can't just transfer hundreds of thousands or millions about from mainstream banks without questions being asked. For the most part I don't think that the GP has the story straight. You can't really have it both ways - either Bitcoin is desirable to criminals because it's untraceable enough to get away with it etc, or it's not. I think that they're overstating the ease of finding a person's complete holdings. Having said that, amusingly, if I had to think of the best way to force someone with a million dollars in a bank account to give me it... the first thing that comes to mind would be to hold them hostage and say to them, get KYC'd on a crypto exchange and send me the crypto. I think that the biggest barrier would be that with no prior history their bank and the exchange would throw a big fat WTF and probably lock everything down for weeks.
