Ransoms have been paid via Bank Wires, PayPal and other technologies for decades.

99% of internet based ransoms are still being paid via Bank Wires.

That would be decisive if it were true.

But I always thought that it is much easier to get ill-gotten gains out of BTC than out of the banking system.
