      And a minimal effort search would bring up dozens of articles about how pervasive this Russian tactic is. I’m not even that dialed into the security community and I’ve heard plenty about it.

                  Thank you for that piece of information. I almost forgot. Now read the damn article, it cites non-governmental sources.

                    It cites analysis from Chainalysis, a contractor for US government.
