This figure of 11.87 billion was **estimated by on-chain analysts themselves**; it’s not an officially verified figure.

Stealing crypto is easy; laundering large amounts of it and converting it into usable fiat currency is much harder. Market sell-offs, being traced, and losses in transactions can all eat into a substantial portion of the money.
