India doesn't have the power to use a block explorer. It is to advanced.

Uh, who's claiming that? Cryptocurrency transactions are _super_ traceable.

The same speaker claims it earlier, for one. The speech seems mostly well informed but that stuck out.

They are referring to

I think it's a sarcastic comment, saying a "block explorer" is all it takes to trace these and implying that the document is dumb for saying otherwise.

I don't know the details of the case well enough, but this is a usual type of comment on HN, and my a priori assumption would be it's probably oversimplifying reality and ignoring context as is also usual.
