Ding ding ding. You're getting it now. :-)

Criminals using Tor is not a new problem. It's addressed as the first
question in the Abuse FAQ, here:

https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq-abuse.html.en#WhatAboutCriminals

and it's discussed by the EFF here:

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2014/07/7-things-you-should-know-about-tor

There are a lot of smart people who have been talking about this for a
long time. I won't list more sources but they are easy to find.
