We’ve only scratched the surface of how bad the crypto crime wave has gotten

Maybe this is your browsing history? I did a duckduckgo image search from a private tab, and got 10-to-1 cute animals. Search it on reddit and you'll find that the term is very popular with people who like cute things.

The alt-right has a meme of 'appropriating' popular terms and symbols in an attempt to make people overestimate P(alt-right|symbol), to make their critics seem unhinged as they level accusations against innocent people, and to make themselves seem more popular than they actually are. They've done this with 'frens', the 'okay gesture', and even drinking milk. You have unfortunately fallen for this, and become their tool.

I just duckwent[1] an image search for "frens" and got four Pepes in the first 30 results.

The same search on Google gives me pretty much nothing but Pepes - only 7 images in the first 30 results are not Pepes. Google is pretty convinced "fren" is an alt-right signifier.

1: I am proposing "duckwent" as the past tense for "duckduckgo".
