Depends how you define large.
In dollar terms they will keep getting larger.
In BTC terms they will keep getting smaller.
I also think what happens to the BTC after the rug pull will change. Presumably a lot of the stolen BTC in the past eventually ends up back on the market again, either by the criminals selling it or the government selling it after seizure.
In the future, I suspect the criminals will more more inclined to keep the BTC for themselves and the more sophisticated criminals (i.e. banks and governments) will be able to keep the stolen BTC "legally".
But that's just my random thoughts. All speculation.
Haha i agree, i think everyone will be more inclined to keep BTC for themselves -- the thiefs may end up having a harder time doing what they've been doing, but yep dont think we'll ever be able to quench criminals stealing bitcoin entirely. human greed is baked in
