But how does any of that apply to the supposed "Steam purchases with stolen credit cards by way of Bitcoin" scheme?

Yes, and it's almost always used as a vague catch-all

Agreed but LibreDrive is the system as a whole (before decryption, sure). I was curious about the persistent component of that system, the modded firmware.

They claim to have exceptionally good Tor support, when in reality people have (rightly) been screaming at them for years now to fix their permabroken Tor signup flow. 1. It's impossible to create a paid account with cryptocurrency:
