Disinformation alert. This person was dumb enough to have Bitcoin trade it for Monero and then trade it back to Bitcoin and send it to a centralized exchange. Monero itself was not traced. The amounts into and out of Bitcoin were traced, and then the person was dumb enough to send it to a centralized exchange to cash out. Stupid fuck.
What would you recommend? Just wait a few days between each tx?
Wait for ~4h, churn (send to your own wallet), repeat this a few times and then start to cash out (not everything at once)
