It is, but it turns out exchanges don't actually care. Bitcoins from the Bitfinex hack are slowly being dumped on exchanges, for example. It's like someone rocked up to a bank with a big duffelbag full of dye-stained notes known to have been stolen from another bank, and went "no worries lol".


Well, it's unlikely the coins when straight from the hack accounts to the exchange accounts (they might have, i'm not sure in this case)

The coins just have to go through a single intermediate account for there to be doubt that the hacker still owns them


yeah. Cryptocurrencies are prosecution futures, but only if law enforcement actually cares to do the considerable tedious legwork.
