"flow of virtual currency was analyzed"
The article is so vague and no detail as to exactly how. Are they including the credit cards, exchanges, and other crypto they were using as "flow"?
Every time these new clickbait articles drop about "tracing Monero" this is always the case. Just going to assume this until more info comes out.
They do say
警察庁によると、モネロを分析し容疑者を特定したのは日本では初めて。
"According to the police, this is the first time in Japan a suspect has been identified by analyzing Monero."
but they say later in the article
仮想通貨の流れを解析し一連の犯行に関与した疑いが強いと判断した。
which is like
"analyzing the flow of cryptocurrency they became strongly suspicious of his involvement in the many crimes"
iow, not Monero specifically.
but its useless to speculate...
could be a lie.
probably timing analysis moving to and from BTC or ETH.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
it doesn't look like anything because there aren't any details

An excuse to draw attention
Yeah, they very specifically say, "analyzed" and not "trace" in the article.
I don't have enough experience to be sure, but it seems to me like they're hedging.
Yeah, actually now that I thought about it a little more, they specifically say "analyzed" and not "traced."
