they are being quite vague, the other company at least claims they can trace monero :P but sure, you always leave a trace, that applies to everything

selsta
i'm sure they run spy remote nodes

hyc
I suppose if snarks or starks worked well we could eliminate all on-chain traces
-
hyc
but there would always be network logs, webserver logs, etc.

Chainalysis is leaving a pattern of bullshit all over the place too.
