Got a question, maybe someone can help.
Let’s say I buy BTC on a KYC exchange, then send it through LN to a LN wallet, and later back to L1. Does that make it anonymous or not really?
Thanks!

- if you buy it on a kyc exchange, you can't get rid of that record, so that's there.
- if you withdraw from exchange to a lightning wallet, then send to a different lightning wallet, then swap back to on chain, I'd guess the exchange or anyone will have a very tough time tracing those coins. Maybe if the wallet you send them to only has a channel with a big LSP...AND if the people tracing you get a hold of the swap service's records, but even then, I think they'd have a hard time tracing it back to your initial withdraw from the exchange.

That’s what I thought. Not totally impossible, but it makes tracking way harder. Thanks!
