Those paragraphs precisely identify three of the four steps of a timing analysis trace and imply the other:

(1) the target acquired amount K of XMR on exchange A
(2) he withdrew amount K of XMR from exchange A (this is the one they imply)
(3) he sent amount K of XMR to exchange B
(4) he did this all within the span of a few minutes

Describing a timing analysis trace is supporting evidence that they did a trace of monero. They did a similar trace 4 times in each of the subparagraphs I cited.

> your assetion that they identified him *through* any activity like that is another straight up lie

They 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)
