Proton is the only one I know of who takes mailed cash.
This was all an opsec problem. And not even an “exposed my ip address because a software bug leaked it” it was an “here’s my usual email address in case I get locked out”.
The cops didn’t need to break into proton email. They just asked the backup email address for that stuff.
Proton accepts payments via postal mail you mean ? Posteo and mailbox.org do that.
