I would guess that, however one goes about converting a million dollars of physical cash into bitcoin, it has just as many downsides as his other options.

I saw offers of cash through the mail for bitcoin on some dark net markets, back when I was fascinated with the Silk Road case.

I'm pretty sure his Russian gold fence could have set him up with bitcoin instead of cash in the first place, though.
