You don't use it in individual transactions.

It's for wholesale drug operations. Usually drugs go at one time, money comes back another time. Only now instead of cash you could just use a crypto, but figuring out how to liquidate enough of it would be difficult.

Watching the Neflix doco on Escobar - one problem he had is having to hide large quantities of cash in holes around Columbia.

Not liquidating it all would be advantageous I'd think.

OTOH the DEA would love the traceability.
