Sounds like a false flag to give authorities an excuse to regulate & ultimately centralize cryptos.

Garbage, nonsense.

And when their choice was American $100 bills what should we take from that? Criminals will always go outside of traditional systems.

yeah, bitcoin can be anyone's choice because it's decentralized.

Might as well have an article "Cash was drug dealers' currency of choice". Yeah no shit, they aren't going to sign up for a damn US bank account which requires an ID and wire the money to them.
