It often is.
I had my PayPal personal account immediately frozen and closed without recourse just for (unintentionally) putting a few hundred dollars of bitcoin through a mixer.
1. Purchased $200 of Bitcoin via PayPal (never doing this again — took weeks to settle)
2. Created a receiving wallet address with a wallet app
3. Moved Bitcoin from PayPal to new wallet address.
This was innocuous, I wasn’t trying to cover my tracks in any way.
What I didn’t know is that the wallet had an automatic tumbling feature, so the money I put in got mixed.
And PayPal immediately closed my account. Tried every way to get it back but no dice. All funds frozen for 6 months before I could redeem them.
So yes using a mixer can get you tainted.
