> I'm not going to be argumentative here

It does help when you check the numbers before making your assertions.

> Clearly coinbase would have a bias to promote userbase

You discount the post because it is from Coinbase, yet every point made is backed up with up-to-date sources from firms you have already deemed appropriate, such as CipherTrace and Chainalysis. That's an... interesting perspective to hold. A bit of cognitive dissonance going on there, methinks?

> How do you think those scams will cash out ? Next step - Places like Tornado.

From your own sources, usually exchanges which implement KYC/AML policies equivalent to traditional banks. Did you actually read them or do you just plop a few keywords in Google and hope for the best?

> And the 'Facts' given ignore services like Tornado.cash. Conveniently wouldn't you agree ?

You think so, do you? Yet in your other source (https://www.unive.it/pag/fileadmin/user_upload/dipartimenti/...), we get this nugget:

> However, in spite of the money laundering risk associated with cryptocurrency mixing services, tumblers are used for lawful activities more often than for illegal ones.

You don't seem interested in a rational or data-driven discussion so there's little fruit to harvest here, I'll leave you to your imaginings.
