Very true....
but it seems that at least on the below described occasion
a coordinated law enforcement action, resulted in some bad guys being caught...

https://www.europol.europa.eu/content/international-action-against-dd4bc-cybercriminal-group

Story was published today on Interpol

In my opinion, this is a very good signal, as it illustrates that cyber-criminals can be caught,
even when using so called anonymous cryptocurrency.
