Bisq and Agoradesk are well-known options but there is another one without mixing your BTC there is an instant exchange where you can exchange BTC to any supported coins like USDT or Monero they also have a "strict non-logging policy" that fits your needs.

There are other service that will provide you with the same benefit of keeping your privacy safe. Not all of them are bad and are you 100% sure that the guy who got arrested was for being involved in Bitcoin? Keeping that aside, you can always mix it and then convert it into some other coins and then cash it out using either P2P transaction or using a centralized platform.

Doing it directly with a centralized platform will put you at a risk. So try to find some alternative option. If there's someone accepting transaction in personal wallet then you can do that transaction too.

Be careful.

With swap, you are more likely talking about altcoins and swap between their blockchains.
With Bitcoin, you have only Bitcoin blockchain and you can trade (buy, sell) with it. If you want off-chain, you have Bitcoin Lightning Network.

There is no way to swap Bitcoin to altcoins. There are some Wrapped Bitcoin tokens on different blockchains and with those wrapped tokens, you can swap them to altcoins on the same blockchain. A strong reminder is those Wrapped Bitcoin tokens are not bitcoins.

I'm assuming you didn't properly use the Coinjoin feature in Wasabi, so let's assume if your coins is still linked with the previous guy.

You're only concealing your coins, tracking back the previous transactions will make people know where the coins comes from. You actually need additional privacy tool if your intention to hide the trace, you can use Bisq to swap your BTC to XMR, then sell XMR to USD (or local currency used in your country).

You can directly sell your BTC using no KYC P2P or DEX, you coins will not be frozen, it's only lack of privacy.

Hi,

I bought part of BTC a long time ago, back when it was a pocket change, and I'm holding it ever since. I got it from a first guy I found locally on localbitcoins, and we did a face to face transaction. Back then were simpler times, the amount was small, and I planned to get familiar with Bitcoin and blockchain, so I never thought to ask him where he got them. Then, a year or two after that, I heard he was arrested, but I have no idea what for.

I sent it to a hardware wallet and never touched them except once a couple of years ago when I was curious how Wasabi wallet mixing (if that's how it was called) works, so I sent the part of it to see, and now it's there on a separate wallet. Fast-forward to this date. As the price raised significantly, I would like to cash out and take some profit, but I'm afraid they might be somehow flagged with the guy I bought them from. I saw a lot of posts online where people saying their funds were frozen on centralized exchanges for being linked to a mixer.

My question is, is there any way I can swap my existing funds in a way so they won't be linked to the previous guy anymore, which doesn't include any additional mixing? I know I could sell them locally, but most of the sellers are using accounts on centralized exchanges, so if those mentioned posts are true, they might freeze them and I will stay both without funds and money.
