0:00

hey everyone me kevin here welcome to a

0:01

new opportunity in the crypto space

0:03

crypto

0:03

laundry yes crypto laundry it is a space

0:06

that

0:07

i'm actually getting more and more

0:08

interested in investing in and that's

0:10

what we're gonna talk about

0:12

here but no i'm not talking about your

0:14

clothing and i'm not talking about life

0:16

insurance that you can get in as little

0:17

as five minutes by going to

0:18

meetkevin.com life i'm talking about

0:22

illegal currency transactions that get

0:25

turned into

0:26

real legitimate money that we can go buy

0:28

stuff with yes apparently

0:30

according to the financial times and a

0:31

phenomenal piece that they put out this

0:32

morning

0:33

available on hydra today are treasurer

0:36

men

0:37

yes treasurer men who will literally

0:39

accept your cryptocurrency

0:41

and then leave you bundles of cash

0:44

either buried or behind bushes

0:48

or in many different places and all

0:51

you'll get

0:51

are the coordinates and you'll get that

0:54

information through encrypted means so

0:56

that their identity can't be discovered

0:58

so in other words you have to hire

0:59

somebody completely anonymous

1:01

trust them enough to give them your

1:02

cryptocurrency and then they will go

1:04

bury cash for you somewhere

1:06

and this is how apparently crypto

1:08

laundry gets washed

1:10

so you can start going shopping and

1:12

spending using

1:13

maybe not even cash but things like

1:16

itunes gift cards

1:17

or prepaid debit cards so you could

1:20

actually use

1:21

the money that you got through whatever

1:24

potentially elicit operation you're

1:25

operating

1:26

think about it last year 350

1:30

million dollars in crypto ransoms were

1:33

paid out

1:34

and folks if you're gonna do illegal

1:36

work you're gonna want to be able to use

1:38

that money because what good is

1:40

cryptocurrency for you if you go to a

1:42

store and you're like hey

1:43

i want to buy myself a new computer so i

1:44

can scam some more people

1:46

if that's all going to get tracked and

1:49

tied back to you

1:50

through surveillance footage or the well

1:53

very trackable in public blockchain in

1:55

terms of where it went up

1:57

or where where your currencies ended up

1:59

and who ended up going to pick the stuff

2:01

up

2:02

they don't want any of this but let's

2:03

get into a better explanation of what's

2:05

actually happening here so let's make a

2:07

simple example

2:08

let's say use a scammer and you ripped

2:11

somebody off for ten thousand dollars

2:13

because you left a comment on the

2:14

youtube video impersonating somebody

2:16

else going

2:17

hey i got an ingenious investment

2:19

opportunity

2:20

and you're guaranteed to 3x your money

2:22

if you send me 10 000

2:23

in bitcoin now obviously when things

2:26

sound too good to be true it's probably

2:28

too good to be true

2:29

just to be clear i do not have a

2:31

whatsapp and i do not want you to send

2:34

me

2:34

cryptocurrency because i'm not going to

2:36

make you any kind of promise

2:38

like doubling or tripling your money

2:40

like that because it's too good to be

2:41

true

2:42

this is how people get scammed but let's

2:44

say you are such scammer and you're like

2:46

i got ten thousand dollars i don't have

2:48

to work at minimum wage because i got

2:50

ten thousand dollars

2:51

how are you actually going to get this

2:53

money into the economy

2:54

and why the heck would i be talking

2:56

about this well because we as investors

2:58

might be interested in investing

3:00

in the intelligence operations to track

3:03

these scammers

3:04

down but let's understand a little bit

3:06

more so

3:07

let's say you stole ten thousand dollars

3:08

worth of stuff using bitcoin

3:10

well obviously if you go use it to buy

3:13

like my courses link down below by

3:15

sending me bitcoin

3:17

that ends up tracking to me which then

3:19

links back to your email because you're

3:20

going to email me

3:21

to get your course enrollment and many

3:24

of you are doing that because the course

3:25

coupon code expires on may 31st and i

3:28

promise you we're going to have the

3:28

biggest price increase ever

3:30

on june 1st because of inflation and

3:32

because i hired a marketer

3:34

but anyway we've gotta consider okay

3:37

in this scenario that would be really

3:39

stupid because if i

3:41

so if you're a criminal trying to buy my

3:42

courses i think that's a bad idea okay

3:43

criminals don't do that

3:45

because what happens well it's not going

3:47

to take much for the fbi to send me a

3:49

subpoena

3:49

and go yo we want your email records

3:52

here's a court order

3:53

to give you uh to give us your email

3:55

record of who you enrolled when they

3:57

sent you that money

3:58

well now your wallet's exposed and all

4:00

your other activities exposed right

4:01

so you can't actually be a criminal and

4:04

functionally use the cryptocurrency to

4:07

transact

4:07

because wherever your endpoint is for

4:10

that transaction

4:11

is a big vulnerability for you so you

4:13

got to try to break apart from the

4:14

blockchain how do you do that

4:16

well you could do that in a few

4:17

different ways you could do that in

4:19

one way by using a treasurer man which

4:21

is what we talked about earlier in the

4:23

video which is literally where

4:24

you are sending your money blindly to

4:27

somebody who is then going to turn that

4:29

somebody anonymous obviously

4:30

who is then going to turn that into cold

4:32

hard cash or gift cards or debit cards

4:34

for you

4:34

alternatively you can try using things

4:36

like privacy coins like monero

4:39

or privacy wallets that shield

4:42

more of your identity and start hiding

4:44

or washing some transaction details

4:47

by having less on the blockchain

4:50

and again usually this is done through

4:52

privacy coins which break

4:53

the chain of history of how much we can

4:56

track

4:57

right so there are ways to

5:00

make your data obscured or somewhat

5:03

disappear

5:04

through privacy coins and privacy

5:05

wallets to make it easier for criminals

5:08

to get away but there's still ways of

5:09

tracking folks now

5:11

some folks say hey kind of like a hot

5:13

car right after you steal a hot car

5:15

you let it go cool off somewhere for a

5:18

little bit

5:18

a lot of folks criminals tend to take

5:21

their currencies or cryptocurrencies

5:23

take them into cold storage disappear

5:25

off of the

5:27

exchanges completely and they wait

5:30

sometimes years

5:31

to reintroduce their coins into the

5:33

market and then

5:34

potentially go through privacy wallets

5:36

or wait for new privacy wallets

5:38

or go to treasure men to get their money

5:40

out of

5:41

the ecosystem so they can use the money

5:44

that they stole

5:45

this is crypto laundry washing

5:48

themselves

5:49

of their history and their criminal

5:51

track record and things like this

5:53

are getting more and more challenging

5:55

because you've even got the irs now

5:57

coming in saying we want

5:59

a record of everybody who is transacting

6:02

in amounts of over ten thousand dollars

6:04

now let's be real we could just start

6:06

transacting in amounts of nine thousand

6:08

dollars

6:08

which is basically exactly what

6:10

criminals do today when it comes to

6:12

transacting in cash and banks

6:14

you're not going to fill out that

6:15

transaction form because you're carrying

6:18

over ten thousand dollars to deposit of

6:19

the bank

6:20

i'm just going to do it in 9 000

6:21

increments or or smaller increments

6:23

whatever

6:24

but folks regulation is coming and more

6:27

eyeballs are coming into the crypto

6:29

space wait a minute kevin don't people

6:31

use cryptocurrencies for illicit

6:33

activities less than they use

6:35

cash for illicit activities and fiat

6:38

well

6:38

maybe but it may also be that we

6:42

think people use cash more for illicit

6:45

activities

6:46

because we see crypto transactions

6:48

happening

6:49

but we don't yet have a clear indication

6:51

as to whether or not they're legal or

6:52

illegal

6:53

and since there are so many dark pools

6:55

and ways of moving

6:57

cryptocurrencies around illegally and us

6:59

not knowing that

7:00

bags of cash are being buried somewhere

7:02

it's actually really hard to track how

7:04

much illicit activity there really

7:06

is and so even though in my interviews

7:10

with ceos we've talked about how there

7:12

seems to be less illegal activity with

7:14

cryptocurrencies

7:15

i can't help but consider the fact that

7:18

most people

7:18

trying to scam people today are using

7:20

cryptocurrencies

7:22

as a means of transacting money i mean

7:25

think about it how many scammers are

7:27

leaving comments

7:28

asking you to western union that money

7:30

anymore

7:31

it's all being done in crypto now and

7:34

you've got 11 600 crypto atms throughout

7:37

the

7:38

world that have pretty much no

7:40

regulation

7:41

on top of that consider this last year

7:44

when

7:44

crypto exchanges started realizing that

7:47

regulation was coming

7:49

especially know your customer kyc rules

7:51

which require

7:52

information on who you are your address

7:54

socials things like that

7:55

shares of crypto brokerage companies

7:58

fell 45

8:01

so as much as i want and and believe

8:05

in the crypto bull argument that crypto

8:07

crime is not an issue

8:10

i think there's going to be a really big

8:12

market going forward

8:13

for investigating crypto crime and

8:17

there are companies that do just this

8:19

there are two that come to mind

8:20

there's chain analysis which is a

8:22

private company which you could probably

8:24

invest in through like an equity zen or

8:26

whatever

8:27

and you could try to get an allocation

8:29

into a company like chain analysis or

8:31

just watch them until they go public

8:33

and consider investing in them but there

8:35

are also public companies

8:36

like big digital assets big digital

8:39

assets is an otc stock

8:41

i have interviewed the ceo on my channel

8:43

so you could watch that interview just

8:45

type in meet kevin big digital assets

8:47

and these firms are seeing their book of

8:50

business

8:50

go way up because the fbi governments

8:54

throughout the world and other companies

8:55

are trying to do whatever they can to

8:57

track down the treasurer men

8:59

or treasurer women and the crypto

9:02

criminals

9:02

that are stealing money from people

9:04

whether using

9:05

ransomware or impersonation schemes

9:09

whatever there is crime in

9:12

cryptocurrency

9:13

we don't know exactly how much there is

9:16

relative

9:16

to fiat because again harder to track

9:20

but i'll tell you this opens the door to

9:22

really cool potential opportunities as

9:24

investors

9:25

so me personally i haven't jumped in yet

9:28

and i haven't bought in

9:29

on big digital yet but i'm getting

9:32

tempted

9:33

big digital is losing a lot of money

9:34

right now so i want to see them develop

9:36

a little bit more but i'm optimistic and

9:38

i love the ceo

9:39

i'm also watching chain analysis very

9:41

very closely

9:42

because their website analytic data is

9:44

also growing like crazy which means a

9:46

lot of other people

9:47

are checking out this company as well so

9:49

folks hopefully you learned something

9:51

today

9:51

but let's be real as a bottom line we

9:54

don't know how much crypto crime there

9:56

is out there

9:56

but we do know that it exists and we do

9:59

know

9:59

it's very difficult to track cryptocrime

10:02

and if it's difficult and expensive to

10:04

track

10:04

crypto crime that means crypto forensic

10:08

companies

10:08

are gonna make lots of money so there

10:12

you have it folks so thank you so very

10:13

much for watching if you like this kind

10:14

of content make sure to subscribe that

10:16
