Good points. I was concerned about this when using an "anon" cryptocurrency and so I think that until now they are called anonymous just to bring hype and a false impression of it. Still, about the IP address and email address not being anon is a thing that brings me doubt since I've always thought you could use Tor to hide your IP and an email service from the deep web (which you can send messages by using PGP). Or, maybe Tor has been compromised and thus there would be no real anonymity. Just my opinion.

FBI and other Government agencies have had access since it was created.
Just between us
, the reason the original US Naval Programmer dropped it , was he discovered an underlying flaw , and instead of wasting all of that time and effort , it was released to the public, where criminals would think they were safe but the reverse was true, everything they were doing was being recorded. It was also a way to get evidence , so they could create a network of intelligence gathering assets from those threaten with jail time, work for me or go to jail is a very compelling argument.
