I wondered about this. Yes, you may have stolen some bitcoin from people but you can't do anything with it. It's all traceable through the blockchain.

You can't buy anything directly with it because as soon as you receive the goods the police will force the person who provided the goods to you to give away your details.\

You can't take it out into your bank account because that will also identify you.

So - a bitcoin mixer would seem your best bet, but even then it just makes it "more difficult" to trace. Not sure I'd want to risk many years in prison on that.
