This is what I mean about reading the whole ledger.  If wallet X is a target, then anyone who transacts with X is a target (which includes Y (anyone with a direct link to X) and Z (anyone with an indirect link to X)).  We are dealing in probabilities here, but we definitely don&#x27;t have untraceable transcations.  The authorities have a finite number network paths&#x2F;leads they can track down.<p>Of course, the more washing transactions you do with dirty coins the harder it is to track down the original wallet.  That being said, the blockchain is somewhat self limiting in how many transactions it can processes per unit of time and thus the its obfuscating capabilities are diminished.
