"Chainalysis’ own 2023 Crypto Crime Report has found the overall transaction volume of illicit activity to lay at merely 0.24%."

A lot of questions on how they came up with that number.
What kind of transaction is flagged "illicit?" Are they to/from known DNM/Theft addresses?
Given this UTXO flow :
Is that two illicit transactions or one? How many post-coinjoin transactions are illicit?
Yeah, odds are it's overstated given their incentive to justify their existence
