Like cyberpunk said. It's not money laundering, it's a way of anonymising the bitcoins.

Yeah I've heard this one before.

I use Mullvad, paid using BTC that came straight from a tumbler. I don't use it for any nefarious reasons, just wanted to see how such a setup would work. It was surprisingly painless. I think it took 15 minutes in total from moving my btc to the tumbler and having the tumbler move the btc to my Mullvad account.

Am I 100% secure? No, they know what IP I'm connecting from. Is my name attached to the VPN? No, not even close. I suppose if I wanted to further improve my security I wouldn't use my own home network, but public wifi's nearby.

But again, I didn't do it to stay "safe" or anonymous. Just wanted to see how the process would actually be.
