Meh, I guess once again it proves criminals are lazy even in the amount of millions it's just time and effort to make it anonymous instead of going through a centralized mixer or exchange.
Huh? I thought only exchanges could be centralized. How the heck can a mixer be centralized?
Because you send crypto to it and they send it back and it's under the control of one person / company. Much like sinbad / whirlwind and a host of others.
Then you have things like joinmarket where everyone runs their own node which handles the coinjoins with others.
https://github.com/JoinMarket-Org/joinmarket-clientserverSo had they run their own node, and then slowly trickled the coins in it would be impossible to prove anything.
