Say I were to be purchasing a small (personal use) quantities of a scheduled substance, from a domestic vendor. Would purchasing the coins, sending to a BTC wallet, and then sending to the market be sufficient for this? I completely understand tumbling, using a dark net only wallet, etc. is necessary if you a buying from out of the country, or or for large amounts.
Just want to get you guys opinions. I know that nobody can tell me for sure!
Just common sense. It's basically all about how much risk aversion you want to take. If you think you won't get red flagged by LE, then you would be fine? But take a scenario where your personal info is extracted from a vendor that got caught, and he provides LE with evidence of people he sold stuff to, or he doesn't hide that information well enough/disposes of it properly, they can then see your address, and then when they trace the vendors BYC that you sent, they'll trace the coins back down the history of where they passed through. Since you didn't tumble, your coins will be found and linked to you, so now they have a case against you.
