Seeing this stat again: “…transactions can be traced in 60% of cases to get a usable lead.”
But what does that mean? Are they using pure chain analysis, or are they catching users at fiat on/off ramps? Are they raiding homes and finding wallets and seed phrases?
If the number is truly 60%, why aren’t we seeing more press releases about huge #monero #xmr takedowns like we do with other cryptos? Perhaps that will happen in the future, but for now I say it’s FUD.
