I am messing with you.

I think there are 2 aspects:

- LN main use case is to send payments not gain privacy and it is difficult/costly to launder big amounts.

- average person (media) does not think about LN as privacy service (government still needs average voter to be on their side - or at least not be against - to really drop the hammer) (and we should not change that ! :D )

(~ 2 years ago I tryed to anonymize ~1BTC over LN without leaving any trace, it was quite an effort - and I am not really sure I was successful)
