You'd be silly not to read this.

Well... what steps should vendors be taking to keep their anonymity? I mean aside from tumbling, I feel like tumbling is a given for vendors.

This isn't new info.

Maybe I missed it but there's not a way for individuals to access this data no?

Even if they can trace users addresses to illegal activity, there's no way they can prosecute all of the small time buyers. Maybe not even big buyers. For vendors this is important but not for most of us.
