But that's what I'm saying. Just transferring bitcoin that originates from coinbase brokerage to a bittrex wallet doesn't protect you from an audit for illegal activity. It doesn't anonymize it or change where it originated. It's still coinbase's bitcoin. Yes, it's better (lower risk) than buying AAS with your coinbase wallet. But it's still bitcoin that originated at coinbase. You just made one jump to a separate bittrex wallet. That's clear as day on the ledger. And it's still coinbase responsibility, if they want to, to audit that behavior.no
coinbase will fuck with your account if they think you are sending bitcoin for fishy shit
so I send the bitcoin to bittrex and then buy fishy shit because bittrex isn't nosy.
For example, if you bought bitcoin there then transfered to a private personal wallet then made an illegal purchase, it's still considered to be from coinbase originated bitcoin. You're still risking issues with them killing your account. It's only marginally less blatantly obvious than using your coinbase wallet to make the illegal transaction. You really need to "tumble" that bitcoin and take some other steps first to be safe. https://coinmixer.se/en/
Personally, for black market stuff, I recommend not even using a larger broker like coinbase. Use localBitcoins or some other service to get them more discretely and never involve your coinbase account so there is no overlap. I have some serious money tied up on coinbase/GDAX. I can't get that a account killed.
