Privacy Coin Conversion

concept

Core idea

Converts traceable crypto into a privacy coin such as Monero to sever the visible trail, then converts back to a traceable asset later once scrutiny has passed.

When to use

The swap into a privacy coin is itself the flag; treat funds re-emerging afterward as unlinkable without off-chain corroboration.

Example

Stolen funds are swapped to Monero, held, then later swapped back to a stablecoin on a different exchange with no visible on-chain link between the two legs.
