Are any of the mixers still up? I remember about a year ago when one of the most popular ones abruptly shut down when it became clear the government would go after him for abetting money laundering if he continued.

Yeah. There was a leak recently from a Chainalysis employee who claimed that they were unable to trace transactions through the Wasabi wallet, which is a wallet that integrates a coinjoin mixer. I think there are other coinjoin-based mixer services operating.
