The burden of proof would be on a prosecutor as to who owns the crypto. In this scenario it would have been sent from someone else. However one of the a main elements of blockchains is to record every transaction. Using previous metadata or kyc info a company like I’ve linked below would help make a case for the chain of custody.
Sure, but the prosecutors burden means they would have to establish the owner of the intermediary wallet. In an air-gapped address that was used once there is no KYC and no metadata to analyze if the owner of the second wallet used a vpn tunnel, onion server or sock puppeted the wallet hosted online.
Lol. The kyc is the first wallet and presumably the last wallets transaction. What I’m pointing out is there is an audit trail. That’s why privacy coins are so hot.
Right, that's my point. I legitimately traded some bitcoin to a guy I met in a Cafe who had a bitcoin sticker on his laptop. He sold me a guitar for it. We talked for awhile and then he left. Nice guy. I think he was somewhere between 4'10" and 7'3" with lightish dark skin and hair.
Wait...you're not telling me he used bitcoin for a criminal purpose are you?
