You know who your clients are, and thus every request for information on a
transaction is reasonably likely to be a deposit associated with the client who
requested it. Learning what addresses are associated with what entity is a
significant benefit to Chainalysis operations, and there's every reason to
expect that the data you learn will either be sold or leaked to Chainalysis
companies.
