I would challenge you to prove that they actively advertised their service as such. Stop spreading misinformation.


Being a money mule makes you complicit in fraud or financial crimes. Running cryptocurrency code and using your own cryptocurrency wallet to help launder stolen money is a crime. People are expected to know better than to lend their wallet for "temporary storage" of money for a reward, especially if they don't know who the source or destination of the transaction may be.

No company will advertise themselves as a criminal operation, even the dumbest thieves aren't that stupid.


Google "bitcoin financial oppression", and you'll find that cryptocurrencies are being advertised left and right as a tool to escape "financial oppression", or as someone less cynical would say, to evade financial regulations.


You don’t have to actively advertise your criminal conspiracies for them to be criminal conspiracies. They knowingly facilitated illegal activities.


Oh wow, I guess if I don't advertise I'm doing a crime then I'm not guilty


If our legal system was as dense as this statement, the world would be ran by criminals.
