Partially traceable, but not tied to anyone's identity. It takes some serious and stupid mistake to actually get caught. And as always, when computers are involved, nobody want to publicly admit being that stupid, so they lie. It's also in the governments interest to make people think they can track and seize as they wish because then most people will just get a bank account the day cash is removed.
They have their get of out jail free cards anyway so no matter how bad they fuck up, they can admit and then nothing happens. That doesn't prove any weakness in common encryption algorithms.
