Earlier, Europol analyst Jarek Jakubcek said that tracking Bitcoin transactions was not particularly difficult for them, but everything changes when crooks decide to use Monero. When the suspects used a combination of TOR and Monero, we could not track the movement of funds. We couldn’t track the IP addresses. In other words, we were at a dead end. Everything happening on the Bitcoin blockchain was available for viewing, which is why we can go far enough in investigations. But with the Monero blockchain, we’ve reached a point where our investigations will stop.
