There are people who are good at hacking and penetrating others wallets and making away with their funds, and to some point, most of them always follow all necessary procedures in order to get their money cleaned and laundered, but some always make a tinny mistake that usually brings them down.
 
Taking what's not yours is not good, and when you steal a large amount of money from someone or a group of people, there is always a watch over those stolen funds, and even if you mix those coins without being careful enough, you might still end up exposing yourself to the same crime. Sometimes it just seems too easy, like the evil is what usually blindfolds them from doing what they could have done to keep the coin's anonymity, but there are still a few stolen funds in crypto that have to be traced back to the criminals.

three reasons

A. most scammers dont steal $200,000 from one victim. instead they steal $500 from many victims where by each victim does not feel its worth fighting because after legal costs of chasing the money they waste more money. so just treat it as a loss and not chase the money
(the "buy $500 giftcard, grandma" scam)

B. most thieves that steal high amounts in total will hide an allotment away, so even if caught and do some jail time. after jail they are richer then getting a normal job for that jail time period

C.most thieves are too dumb to work normal jobs, they cant cope with the mental requirements to work, so steal things. they are not intelligent

Do you wonder why the biggest crypto thieves still get caught, with all that money? Imagine having just $200,000. What all that money could do for you? As a thief, you could even disapper, but you can't. You know why? There are few hiding places on earth for fugitives these days. And when you've got lots of money, those few hiding places practically make your money useless. Even Crypto Queen may not have disappeared as we presumed. How about CAR? Easter Island? Somalia? Siberia? In any case, never believe that you could steal from people and get away to enjoy the loot happily ever after. This is what these duo never reckoned with. And I think there are many like them who wouldn't mind doing anything just for money.
