In Alpraking's Kingpin Handbook (https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkNetMarkets/comments/4dxjw6/alprakings_the_kingpin_handbook_chapter_13/), he recommends:
"Bitcoins are very easy to launder. First, tumble them out from the markets to a tumbler. Then, create a front-company, registered, with a real service/product that accept bitcoins. create invoices, and pay them directly from the tumbler. Each transaction will look like its coming from a unique btc address. Once laundered, just send your btc to any exchange and cash them out. Once the papertrail is created, there is no need to hide them anymore."
My question is: Isn't there always some degree of "market taint" in these bitcoins POST tumbling, because the tumbler wallet is only once or twice removed from the markets?
Is this not enough to tip off anyone skilled in cryptocurrency forensics that these BTC's are laundered from a market?
/u/Vendor_BBMC care to chime in?
BBMC being asked for advice?
Mark this date, gentlemen.
