I am also not denying that scammers may have used bitcoin mixing services for clearing their trails still it is possible to track down in some way but privacy is someone's right and now governments are going after is a threat to everyone not just scammers.
I agree, what people need to understand is BTC and its privacy solutions are tools, just the way the internet is a tool, and people are going to use it both for good and bad. However we do not hear people asking for the internet to be banned, the way they want mixers and CoinJoin to be banned and for people not to use BTC privately. The sad part in all of this is that it is impossible to fight the government, so i don't think BTC privacy solutions will survive in a few years from now.People who use these privacy tools with bad intentions will find an alternative solution sooner or later.
Just an example, an interesting thread = Crackdown on mixers and privacy tools is ineffective: it may even help criminals by d5000 which means still there are far more better options for the criminals than just using centralized experience.
Let's come to the topic, the government is supposed to chase the criminals, not the way they are using.
