alot of the exploit wallets are doxxed, e.g. they have an initial deposit into wallet from a centralized crypto exchange like coinbase or FTX that investigators can request info from. its actually pretty hard to get a "clean" wallet, and even if you have one, mixing the crypto back out to fiat is tricky as well. what's worse, all transactions are permanently on the blockchain so if they don't catch you now they can always catch you later.
