What you're saying is that, as the address the developer received the money from was not specifically listed by OFAC as Tornado Cash (in [1]), it wouldn't be a prohibited transaction for the developer that would need reporting, even though it seems like it was just transferred from 0xA160cdAB225685dA1d56aa342Ad8841c3b53f291 (on the SDN list from OFAC) a few minutes before through a few addresses? I don't really know, but if that were the case, that seems like it would enormously limit the applicability of the sanctions?

What's the alternative? Sanctions don't permanently taint money.
