Specter's attribution underscores how durable mixer-linked tracing has become: Whirlpool's design was meant to break heuristics, yet identifiable flows are still being surfaced and publicized. The finding matters less for the specific coins than for the precedent it sets around privacy tooling, where forensic claims now carry reputational and potentially legal weight for anyone later touching those outputs. Whether such disclosures translate into broader compliance action against mixers, or remain isolated on-chain claims, is the open question to watch.
