Mixers may soon become obsolete as Chainalysis continues to refine the ability to demix certain mixing transactions and see users’ original source of funds.

Exactly.
Huge growth in sanctions violations, they say.
Has there been a single prosecution using this data? Not that I know of.

To be clear, there are legitimate reasons one would want to do this. Financial privacy is important, especially to people living under oppressive governments or who otherwise need the ability to make legal transactions anonymously.
Chainanalysis can go fuck themselves but actually pretty impressed they were able to write/publish this paragraph.

Reminds me of how the DoD occasionally commends journalists for thorough war reporting 🤷‍♂️

100% - kind of contradicting their own existence but here we are. In privacy it is not one for me and other for thee - we shall all aspire to total freedom of transaction and solid privacy primitives on top of it.

Really sick of needing to justify mixing. I pay my taxes, and have no intention of avoiding them. However, I believe privacy is a fundamental right. That is why I mix.
This is a hard-line issue for me. Coinjoins should be protected at all costs, and chainalysis is cancer.
