I think it's an exaggeration of its crime utility. Normal money is king for crime.

Normal money can get you a visit from the SEC when you do securities fraud with it. Has that ever happened with a crypto pump and dump?

SBF wasn't doing securities fraud with only crypto, if that's what you're thinking of. Also it was a pyramid scheme and not a pump and dump.
