Bitcoin makes the flow of money beyond the money-drop transparent. Every last morsel of the ransom is permanently marked.

Bitcoin has many remarkable properties, but permanent anonymity is not one of them.




I think your missing the point, a money drop is about transportation/distribution and not anonymity. Transporting money is the hard part and bitcoin has changes this area more than anything. Being anonymous is easily circumvented by various other techniques, some new, some old.


There are many low cost bitcoin mixers/tumblers out there.


You can't be anonymous as a member of an exchange?
