They did a similar trace 4 times in each of the subparagraphs I cited.\n\n\u003e your assetion that they identified him *through* any activity like that is another straight up lie\n\nThey did the trace for a precise reason: without that evidence, they only *suspected* the target laundered the money. In order to *identify* him as the perpetrator, they needed to do the trace that linked the criminal proceeds to a monero wallet and then do a further trace to link that monero wallet to his KYC'd identity (and they did that part by tracing it to a CEX that had his identity documents)"}
