So what does the launderer gain for the risk of taking the loss/blame for the theft? Surely he must impose a healthy fee? Surely this fee would be negotiable based on the good provenance of the coins.
This currency is a money-tracker's dream.
- ambiate 14y agoA quick Google of 'bitcoin laundry' shows a typical commission rate of 1.5-3.5% and portion of bitcoins per transaction (to cover the costs of transferring).
- jlgreco 14y agoI wonder what is to stop a launderer from accepting stolen bitcoins, but then just keeping them. Who would the thief go cry to? Even if the thief complained to the community to harm the launderer's reputation, they would have to tell the community what coins were involved before anybody would listen. Physical retribution, as could/would be used "in meatspace" no longer helps.
