Tbh, it seems to me the same bs western propaganda of these latest days.
BIP32 HD + P2P make almost impossible a complete tracing of transactions, and you don’t even need Monero - it can be done with the good ol’ BTC. If you see how the “hackers” of $4billions were caught, you see they used the same wallet address for years and never split and remixed the money.
Btw Russians don’t need crypto, bilateral commerce is settled in RUB and local currency (like RMB/YCN) or goods exchange (ex oil for machineries), and actually their are getting Unionpay to travel and do tourism in all Asia and Latin America, whom welcome them more than ever f**king once again tourism industry in europe!
