An AG needs probable cause for a criminal charge to subpoena all intermediaries, and "shady LLCs" lack probable cause. Similarly, a federal money laundering charge requires an illicit origin, so since the state doesn't know the origin and has no probable cause on what specifically criminal (or non-criminal) origin there is, indiscriminately going after random property owners and random LLCs is going to get curb stomped by every judge in the union. Fishing expeditions don't cut it in this country.
Anonymity doesn't require a lack of paper trail. Only a benign paper trail.
What did you have in mind for such AG to do?
