Also totally ignores local bitcoin transactions, where you wouldn't know the source until the trade was made anyway. Most people don't check for 'tainted' coins to begin with.

How far does this cover when in terms of automated wallet generations and peels scraping? Like thousands of wallets receiving bits and another thousand receiving and then sent one by one to the exchanges? How would they filter it?

Whoever pulled off the Betcoin heist hasn't been caught, but once stolen bitcoins pass into an exchange or they're used in some other transaction, law enforcement has many ways of tracking down a culprit. You need to provide proof of identity to trade on Mt. Gox. Exchanges can also hand over information such as IP addresses and bank account numbers to investigators.
