Tornado Cash is a representative of the widely used mixing services on Ethereum.
Scammers' common methods for countering on-chain tracking include: splitting funds into a large number of small transfers, routing through multiple layers of wallets, using mixing protocols such as Tornado Cash to break the fund trail, or moving assets to another chain via cross-chain bridges.
If funds flow into a decentralized wallet or a coin mixer, even if the address is traced, there are virtually no technical or legal means to compel recovery.
Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm was indicted on charges of aiding money laundering, despite not personally controlling the operation of the protocol.
