oh please
ask me to prove a negative lol
not having access is the default condition.
the CA video is FULL of him showing transactions they cant trace.
you're just butthurt monero price is up and reaching for the usual FUD.
Please provide an example where chain analysts could not access the sending wallet
Here are two examples where they could access it and caught their target:
1. Finnish authorities trace monero from swap service to monero wallet to binance: https://cointelegraph.com/news/finnish-authorities-traced-monero-vastaamo-hack
2. Chainalysis traced monero and caught a Columbian criminal who used it: https://cointelegraph.com/news/chainalysis-leak-monero-traceability
Discussion
there are plenty of articles that cover how chainalysis finds their perps
I'm just asking for one where they did it without finding the sender
In every case I'm aware of, they find the sender first (often, they themselves *are* the sender, e.g. in the Finnish case I provided), then start tracing the payment once the recipient moves it -- they try to find out if he sent it to an exchange, or batched it together with his other payments, or did anything else useful with it
