My NEXT BIG Crypto Investment
FULL TRANSCRIPT
hey everyone me kevin here welcome to a
new opportunity in the crypto space
crypto
laundry yes crypto laundry it is a space
that
i'm actually getting more and more
interested in investing in and that's
what we're gonna talk about
here but no i'm not talking about your
clothing and i'm not talking about life
insurance that you can get in as little
as five minutes by going to
meetkevin.com life i'm talking about
illegal currency transactions that get
turned into
real legitimate money that we can go buy
stuff with yes apparently
according to the financial times and a
phenomenal piece that they put out this
morning
available on hydra today are treasurer
men
yes treasurer men who will literally
accept your cryptocurrency
and then leave you bundles of cash
either buried or behind bushes
or in many different places and all
you'll get
are the coordinates and you'll get that
information through encrypted means so
that their identity can't be discovered
so in other words you have to hire
somebody completely anonymous
trust them enough to give them your
cryptocurrency and then they will go
bury cash for you somewhere
and this is how apparently crypto
laundry gets washed
so you can start going shopping and
spending using
maybe not even cash but things like
itunes gift cards
or prepaid debit cards so you could
actually use
the money that you got through whatever
potentially elicit operation you're
operating
think about it last year 350
million dollars in crypto ransoms were
paid out
and folks if you're gonna do illegal
work you're gonna want to be able to use
that money because what good is
cryptocurrency for you if you go to a
store and you're like hey
i want to buy myself a new computer so i
can scam some more people
if that's all going to get tracked and
tied back to you
through surveillance footage or the well
very trackable in public blockchain in
terms of where it went up
or where where your currencies ended up
and who ended up going to pick the stuff
up
they don't want any of this but let's
get into a better explanation of what's
actually happening here so let's make a
simple example
let's say use a scammer and you ripped
somebody off for ten thousand dollars
because you left a comment on the
youtube video impersonating somebody
else going
hey i got an ingenious investment
opportunity
and you're guaranteed to 3x your money
if you send me 10 000
in bitcoin now obviously when things
sound too good to be true it's probably
too good to be true
just to be clear i do not have a
whatsapp and i do not want you to send
me
cryptocurrency because i'm not going to
make you any kind of promise
like doubling or tripling your money
like that because it's too good to be
true
this is how people get scammed but let's
say you are such scammer and you're like
i got ten thousand dollars i don't have
to work at minimum wage because i got
ten thousand dollars
how are you actually going to get this
money into the economy
and why the heck would i be talking
about this well because we as investors
might be interested in investing
in the intelligence operations to track
these scammers
down but let's understand a little bit
more so
let's say you stole ten thousand dollars
worth of stuff using bitcoin
well obviously if you go use it to buy
like my courses link down below by
sending me bitcoin
that ends up tracking to me which then
links back to your email because you're
going to email me
to get your course enrollment and many
of you are doing that because the course
coupon code expires on may 31st and i
promise you we're going to have the
biggest price increase ever
on june 1st because of inflation and
because i hired a marketer
but anyway we've gotta consider okay
in this scenario that would be really
stupid because if i
so if you're a criminal trying to buy my
courses i think that's a bad idea okay
criminals don't do that
because what happens well it's not going
to take much for the fbi to send me a
subpoena
and go yo we want your email records
here's a court order
to give you uh to give us your email
record of who you enrolled when they
sent you that money
well now your wallet's exposed and all
your other activities exposed right
so you can't actually be a criminal and
functionally use the cryptocurrency to
transact
because wherever your endpoint is for
that transaction
is a big vulnerability for you so you
got to try to break apart from the
blockchain how do you do that
well you could do that in a few
different ways you could do that in
one way by using a treasurer man which
is what we talked about earlier in the
video which is literally where
you are sending your money blindly to
somebody who is then going to turn that
somebody anonymous obviously
who is then going to turn that into cold
hard cash or gift cards or debit cards
for you
alternatively you can try using things
like privacy coins like monero
or privacy wallets that shield
more of your identity and start hiding
or washing some transaction details
by having less on the blockchain
and again usually this is done through
privacy coins which break
the chain of history of how much we can
track
right so there are ways to
make your data obscured or somewhat
disappear
through privacy coins and privacy
wallets to make it easier for criminals
to get away but there's still ways of
tracking folks now
some folks say hey kind of like a hot
car right after you steal a hot car
you let it go cool off somewhere for a
little bit
a lot of folks criminals tend to take
their currencies or cryptocurrencies
take them into cold storage disappear
off of the
exchanges completely and they wait
sometimes years
to reintroduce their coins into the
market and then
potentially go through privacy wallets
or wait for new privacy wallets
or go to treasure men to get their money
out of
the ecosystem so they can use the money
that they stole
this is crypto laundry washing
themselves
of their history and their criminal
track record and things like this
are getting more and more challenging
because you've even got the irs now
coming in saying we want
a record of everybody who is transacting
in amounts of over ten thousand dollars
now let's be real we could just start
transacting in amounts of nine thousand
dollars
which is basically exactly what
criminals do today when it comes to
transacting in cash and banks
you're not going to fill out that
transaction form because you're carrying
over ten thousand dollars to deposit of
the bank
i'm just going to do it in 9 000
increments or or smaller increments
whatever
but folks regulation is coming and more
eyeballs are coming into the crypto
space wait a minute kevin don't people
use cryptocurrencies for illicit
activities less than they use
cash for illicit activities and fiat
well
maybe but it may also be that we
think people use cash more for illicit
activities
because we see crypto transactions
happening
but we don't yet have a clear indication
as to whether or not they're legal or
illegal
and since there are so many dark pools
and ways of moving
cryptocurrencies around illegally and us
not knowing that
bags of cash are being buried somewhere
it's actually really hard to track how
much illicit activity there really
is and so even though in my interviews
with ceos we've talked about how there
seems to be less illegal activity with
cryptocurrencies
i can't help but consider the fact that
most people
trying to scam people today are using
cryptocurrencies
as a means of transacting money i mean
think about it how many scammers are
leaving comments
asking you to western union that money
anymore
it's all being done in crypto now and
you've got 11 600 crypto atms throughout
the
world that have pretty much no
regulation
on top of that consider this last year
when
crypto exchanges started realizing that
regulation was coming
especially know your customer kyc rules
which require
information on who you are your address
socials things like that
shares of crypto brokerage companies
fell 45
so as much as i want and and believe
in the crypto bull argument that crypto
crime is not an issue
i think there's going to be a really big
market going forward
for investigating crypto crime and
there are companies that do just this
there are two that come to mind
there's chain analysis which is a
private company which you could probably
invest in through like an equity zen or
whatever
and you could try to get an allocation
into a company like chain analysis or
just watch them until they go public
and consider investing in them but there
are also public companies
like big digital assets big digital
assets is an otc stock
i have interviewed the ceo on my channel
so you could watch that interview just
type in meet kevin big digital assets
and these firms are seeing their book of
business
go way up because the fbi governments
throughout the world and other companies
are trying to do whatever they can to
track down the treasurer men
or treasurer women and the crypto
criminals
that are stealing money from people
whether using
ransomware or impersonation schemes
whatever there is crime in
cryptocurrency
we don't know exactly how much there is
relative
to fiat because again harder to track
but i'll tell you this opens the door to
really cool potential opportunities as
investors
so me personally i haven't jumped in yet
and i haven't bought in
on big digital yet but i'm getting
tempted
big digital is losing a lot of money
right now so i want to see them develop
a little bit more but i'm optimistic and
i love the ceo
i'm also watching chain analysis very
very closely
because their website analytic data is
also growing like crazy which means a
lot of other people
are checking out this company as well so
folks hopefully you learned something
today
but let's be real as a bottom line we
don't know how much crypto crime there
is out there
but we do know that it exists and we do
know
it's very difficult to track cryptocrime
and if it's difficult and expensive to
track
crypto crime that means crypto forensic
companies
are gonna make lots of money so there
you have it folks so thank you so very
much for watching if you like this kind
of content make sure to subscribe that
way i know that you like this content
and you want more of it

that coupon code expiring on monday and
folks
