> If DOJ can show evidence of cartels, terrorist cells, and other unsavory entities laundering their money through bitcoin, ICOs, ethereum, altcoins and tether, then anyone who has ever taken crypto to work on a project, anyone who handled the influx of cash to exchange it for crypto by selling Tether (which is all of the major exchanges), are headed for a storm of hurt.

Oh no, the cartels and terrorist cells would have to go back to conducting all their illegal activities in physical US dollars.

"DOJ has such a high conviction rate because they only prosecute cases they expect to win."

Things like kingpin laws (continuing criminal enterprise) and RICO probably help the conviction rate.
