You need to provide origin of funds for purchases exceeding a few thousand bucks (depending on jurisdiction). At some point you would wanna sell the NFT to buy something from it.

I mean sure, there is the dark web, or face to face trading... If you're into that.

I'm guessing that very much depends on the jurisdiction. Those people that took $30m this week and all the previous thefts this year alone, they all had a plan for how to move that money and I've not seen many of them get caught...

According to https://blog.chainalysis.com/reports/2021-crypto-scam-revenu... - scammers took in $7.7b in 2021 alone, if they couldn't do anything with those funds, doubtful they'd go the effort of stealing them :)
