> Sheppard had used a personal driver’s license to verify himself with the Binance and Coinbase cryptocurrency exchanges, and his accounts were found to have sent and received some of the scammed bitcoin.
Didn't even layer the Bitcoin through an anonymiser like Monero and extra Bitcoin wallets. Just sent and received BTC directly to an account linked with photo ID on multiple exchanges. Incredible really!
It's like robbing a bank and then making sure everyone knows you put the money in your personal bank account. If you spend 5 minutes reading about anonymizing Bitcoins you'll find plenty of ways to do it (tumblers, etc).
How can you do a hack that will certainly get you in jail for several years and not even research the most basic techniques to protect yourself? It just doesn't make sense.
