You can not trace it backwards, that's not how tumbling works. If I take a 1000 inputs and combine them. Then I split it into 100,000 outputs you can not trace that.
You could trace it if the person getting the outputs was dumb enough to recombine them or spend them in all the same way. I suspect most people who tumble store the coins in those addresses and only spend small amounts later.
Tumbling has been used by people being tracked and has been effective at them not being caught. Read the bitcoin forums.
