There are so many ways to transfer money anonymously online, and the US Department of Justice has declared war on currencies that are widely used by cybercriminals.
Immediately after the enforcement of the law in 17 countries and the termination in May of the “Liberty Reserve” currency that was similar to Paypal with a turnover in money laundering of $6 billion, now criminals are moving to another online digital currency called “Perfect Money ”.
In short, Perfect Money is another private digital currency that has emerged to meet the demand of criminals and hackers, those who buy and sell anything anonymously and is already used by people who sell stolen credit cards from hacker forums on the Internet. Perfect Money also allows users to transfer money anonymously within the online market and exchange it later for dollars, euros or even gold.
These virtual currencies are often associated with Bitcoin, because it has also been used by criminals. Recall that Bitcoin's open-source encrypted model, which keeps records of every transaction, is quite transparent but it is also an anonymous currency, keeping a person's real identity separate from their digital address.
Since the US government, as well as Paypal, have shown interest in Bitcoin and the exchanges it makes, it has become a less attractive proposition for criminals.
