They are really trying to fud hard here. Nothing about cracking bitcoin's anonymity besides run-of-the-mill chainanalysis.

I feel a bit bad for this fella; only a 22 year old kid at the time. He finds a bug and withdraws more bitcoins than his balance. They call it a heist. He lives his life for the next 9 years before "federal agents surprised Mr. Zhong with a search warrant and found the digital keys to his crypto fortune hidden in a basement floor safe and a popcorn tin in the bathroom" - That sounds like fun. The article goes on to humiliate the guy talking about how he wanted to impress girls with his money, but "his plan did not work" Also, they want to put him in a cage for 2 years. What a story.

So basically you can solve crime without having total control over the system
