If you knew that a famous thief such as Sam Bankman-Fried was registering his coins to your coinjoin coordinator, would you choose to help him hide his stolen funds from being traced?
Oh, so that's what you are doing. Very nice. Since you are so confident that blockchain analysis is precise in finding the crypto Sam Bankman-Fried stole or any other criminal individual or criminal nation-state without affecting other people, tell us how you know that? Someone that is so much pro open-source as you and and the Wasabi team have certainly asked to see the code and algorithms that blockchain analysis uses to come to their conclusions. So, what can you tell us?

I never expressed confidence in blockchain analysis precision.  I created a philosophical example for o_e_l_e_o where he knows SBF is registering his coins to his coordinator to ask how he would react in such a situation:

As a coinjoin coordinator, would you deny service to Sam Bankman Fried if he wanted to coinjoin stolen FTX funds?  Or would you make his stolen coins private instead?
Hell, why stop there? If your blockchain analysis buddies don't want to provide services to SBF, then why not petition miners to blacklist his transactions altogether? There has been more than one mining pool in the past which has selectively censored transactions based on a blockchain analysis blacklist, OFAC blacklist, or other such bullshit. Only approved people should be allowed to use bitcoin at all! Congrats, you've just invented a CBDC.

After all, if you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to fear, right? Everyone who doesn't comply is a target.

You can fuck right off with your malignant permissioned privacy bullshit.

Of course, it's not exactly surprising to hear a pro-SBF response from o_e_l_e_o since he promotes custodians that steal their money from their users, so SBF is his hero and role model.
