Probably stupid question: Why not just exchange it to zcash or monero or some other coin that hides transaction details? Then you can send it to a new wallet; theoretically 100% untraceably.

Is this not a valid approach?

They did that apparently, it is mentioned in the article. There are still ways to trace it. For example, if they do it in a short timeframe or in just two transactions you can match the amounts. Not many people send 100k$ in zCash around.

Amounts are not public with Monero outputs created within the last few years.

Equation Group: “Challenge accepted”.

You really want to bet that a crypto tumbler won’t have a flaw in it?

Most crypto tokens have flaws.

I’m short this comment and the bank who gave the author a mortgage.

Ben, it appears you've become emotionally invested in my comments. While I appreciate the attention it does signal that you're going off the deep end judging by you replying to all of my posts in and out of this thread within the same hour.

Feels aside, I get the impression that your knowledge of monero, zero knowledge proofs, and anonymized transaction outputs is lacking. By virtue of the way that monero burns and creates unlinkable transaction outputs with concealed amounts, you cannot discern the amount of any transaction or output unless you're a key party to the transaction. As always the sender is also concealed. Tumblers would be a different and weaker concept all together.

The equation group admits this themselves, and it is proven time and time again every time monero is seized or analyzed.

I do hope you eventually get out of your feelings and get your proverbial shit together, because idolizing your detractors is no way to live. I assure you my ramblings are nowhere near as interesting as the conversations you'll have with your therapist about them.

Also lmao, nobody in this space uses banks, stop it.
