The other thing that might make a dent in this problem is more civil prosecutions by bitcoin theft victims against the parents of kids involved in these crypto heists. The big thing now is targeting lower end young crypto dads, apparently. You know, the kind who put all their kids' college fund in there.
The federal system doesn't know what to do with minors, which is why the sim-swappers and other crimers on the The Com constantly recruit 12 and 13 y/o to do the interstate calling where they commit serious federal crimes. Or holding the bitcoin or SIM cards, or whatever.
Some of these kids are millionaires many times over before they are 18, by stealing it all.
