The FBI doesn't have access to every Bitcoin exchange. There are exchanges in other countries that let you trade anonymously, either into fiat or other cryptocurrencies.

Do those other exchanges have some other type of anonymity mechanism? I guess I could see Monero on Bitcoin as a service, but if it isn't something like that it seems just as pseudoanonymous as regular BTC
