Tornado cash very bad

As far I know Tweet is already deleted, but USA goes now after Tornato cash in a massive way.

Sanctions hit the Website by the US.

But what is:

Someone knows the address of somebody.

Put 1ETH into tornadocash and withdraw it to the wallet of person XYZ.

What happens than?

It is impossible for the receiver to proof some random sends it.

So in theory the receiver breaks the sanctions?

Goes he now into jail?

Cobie brought it up. But it's a legit question.

Ok. And technical gov and exchanges hate anon coins.

But hive could easy implement them.

So what would happen then?

Hive becomes illegal? Could be also a Layer 2.

What if bitcoin would add a shield? Would the fork be illegal too?

And is the software illegal or the token? Or both?

I don't understand mixers. Why are they effective? Can't everyone just follow the flow to find out where the money went? The inputs and outputs should be about the same size for the same user and all transactions are public, right?

No idea how it works.

I expect something like deposit XXX and it goes to a lot of different wallets. If a lot of people do it and withdraw x eth, it should be anon or very hard to track.

But that is something I have no idea about. And I don't know if it is worth it people use it?

Probably if all the mixer outputs are all of the same size or by some other means chunked so that the big and small deposits look the same and output wallets are signaled off-chain, careful users could gain some cover.
