Why do criminals launder money? Can't they just spend it directly? Why has USDT become a favorite again?

Let me give you a very common example:

When I was in primary school, I stole 100 RMB from my mom.

At that time, 100 RMB was really valuable:

Those remote-controlled cars, around ten RMB, the really luxurious ones, 25… buying one could make you the coolest kid on the block, with all kinds of toys to play with, robots and such, 5 RMB, 7 RMB…

I, just after getting the money in the morning, bought a remote-controlled car, I remember it was called "Dancing Angel".

I bought a water gun, and then spent another 20 RMB on a bunch of miscellaneous things.

In the afternoon after school, I suddenly started to worry. I realized a problem:

If I bring this back home, I'll definitely get beaten up. I only get one RMB for pocket money every day, and I can't save up this kind of asset even if I don't eat or drink! If I don't bring it back and leave it in the classroom, I'm worried it will be stolen.

And it's not a long-term plan. Although I bought it at the teacher's store, it won't be confiscated, but if I leave it in the classroom every day, the teacher will also become suspicious…

Later, I had no choice. I still had some money left in my pocket, so I gave my desk mate two RMB, and told him to insist that the water gun was bought for him by his uncle in Beijing, and let me borrow it.

I gave two RMB to a friend from another class, and asked him to help me take the remote-controlled car home. I also gave some money to others to help me take the model home.

Finally, I went home with the remaining tens of RMB in my pocket. I didn't sleep well that night, and I dreamed of worrying about my pockets being searched…

Then, two or three days later, I did well on the mid-term exam, and my grandma gave me 10 RMB. I whitewashed the remote-controlled car, saying I bought it for 5 RMB.

Then, I used the 5 RMB my mom gave me to whitewash the model.

And I falsely reported that my grandpa also gave me 10 RMB, and I openly said that I wanted to save the remaining money…

Finally, I even said that I cheated the guy and he gave me the water gun.

With this series of operations, not only did I make the previous stolen goods presentable, but I also laid the groundwork for future purchases: the money I didn't spend before.

Now, back to why use USDT for money laundering:

The above is about whitewashing money, but now there are transfer records, how do you launder it?

First is tracing the source, every step of your transfer can be traced, where did your money come from?

But it's very difficult to trace the source of USDT on the blockchain. No one knows how many hands it has passed through, and no one knows whose hands it has passed through. So now, most criminals use USDT for money laundering.

And it's globally universal, guess what, in terms of transferring assets…
