Well that is kind of a problem see, what happens if someone is running a big illegal ring and comes into contact with hundreds of thousands of bitcoins?  All of those bitcoins can be traced back to criminal transactions and then be seized... This could be any fraction of a bitcoin that comes into your possesion, aside from newly minted blocks.

Bitcoins cannot be seized without the private key.

What I meant by that is you can get money seized if it is suspected of being used in a criminal way and such I am sure the police would be more than willing to do the same with BTC. Such as what they did with the silk road bitcoins.

Regardless, they cannot seize any bitcoins without the private key. They were somehow able to obtain the SR private keys, most likely because the wallet was unencrypted or they had its encryption key.

Other than using a mixer, people can use an exchange or a casino to mix their bitcoin.
Looking at it at another perspective, if your bitcoin has gone through a casino or an exchange in the past, there could already be some taints.

Bitmixer.io is a popular mixer here.
What you have to consider is the fees involved in mixing. Is it worth it?

On Bitmixer, you can set the transaction fee to as low as 0.5% (+ 0.0005BTC). Which means if you mix 0.01BTC, the fee would be just 0.00055BTC

But if you have personal info that could lead to you, listed on those exchanges then it may uncover your identity.

Most altcoin exchange do not require verification. If you are paranoid, just withdraw the altcoin and mix it then use a proxy to create new account then exchange it there. Using various exchanges is also a good idea, together with proxy of course.

But mixer is easier way as it completely changes your coin for clean ones from their wallet.

that seems a bit overly complicated IMO

cant you just send them to a high volume  exchange where they will land in the deposit or "hot wallet " and sold on  to customers or  possibly be moved to the cold storage where they could be mixed with 200,000 other btc

when you withdraw them after a day or two  its unlikely you will get any of your same coins back

You can, but the exchange will keep all transaction records.
For normal bitcoin users, it is not a problem, but it may not be the case for "black market users".

I think bitmixer.io is the most trustworthy at this moment.

many are reliable, depending on their own provide an escrow fund to be safe
