This is actually a pretty comprehensive dismantling of the perception of the non-monero privacy tool space. The hacker used tornado cash and got tracked (via heuristics/metadata connecting the source and deposit), then they used zcash shielded pools (got tracked by shielded pool exit to transparency where there wasn't enough actual traffic to protect him (not enough zcash people use it privately)), and now he has millions in stables which they are trying to get frozen. This whole thing is basically an ad that monero is better.
Got caught faster than a hacker using zcash. Brilliant.
