First, I'd love a citation. Second, if true, is that a good thing? Or are you saying that if one person is getting away with something then everyone should just be able to do it. This has big 'but mom, Jeffrey Dahmer got to kill and eat people' energy. Nobody gets to kill an eat people. Just because Jeffrey Dahmer did it doesn't mean you do. And it doesn't mean we should be building tooling that allows people to more efficiently kill and eat each other just because one guy found a way to use it as a hat pin. |

Estimated ~60+% of worldwide employment (and 15+% of GDP) is "informal" thus no verifiable source of legal funds would be found if those persons put it into Tornado Cash. I'm not sure how you define the 1/4 cited figured in Tornado Cash, but the point is I'm not sure that it indicates anything unusual about the proportion of transactions, especially considering informal workers tend to have less access to the formal banking system.
Whether that is a good thing? I don't know, I guess it would be better if those people starve to death so they could make sure they had a traceable source of tax-paying employment? This kind of thing probably covers the vast majority of people in places like Argentina where the tax on corporations is 107% of profit [see publication 'doing business argentina'], that is there is basically no legal way to run a business fully above board. I definitely don't see these people trying to survive on otherwise honest employment as Jeffrey Dahmer, but I agree it would be better if they had a way to work that allowed them better access to the banking system.
To put it simply using your analogy, if 1/4 (or more) of the wold is 'Jeffrey Dahhmer' it doesn't look like your service favors Jeffrey Dahmer if only 1/4 of the service is servicing Jeffrey Dahmers.
