How good are blockchain analytics companies in analyzing coinjoins and mixing presently? Can they follow outputs after a mix or a coinjoin? This might be a concern for regular users, I reckon.

I am quite certain they do not have 99% batting average hehe. There are services and institutions in this world that should not have a 1% or .01% error. Airline pilots, the police and the judicial system are examples.



The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced the “largest ever seizure of terrorist organizations’ cryptocurrency accounts” on Thursday, including “millions of dollars” and 300 crypto accounts.

In a press release Thursday, the DOJ announced it had investigated and dismantled “three terrorist financing cyber-enabled campaigns” involving al-Qaeda, Hamas and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS).

Legal documents filed Thursday show the DOJ is trying to seize bitcoin from 155 addresses it alleges were used by Al Qaeda to fund terrorism and arrest two individuals allegedly involved with facilitating crypto transfers for Hamas.
