How can a market address be identified as a DNM wallet by third parties?

Edit: title should be "How can a Bitcoin address be identified as a DNM wallet by third parties?"

The common wisdom passed around is that you should never send BTC directly to a DNM wallet, instead needing to go through the trouble of passing the coins through several intermediaries and/or tumbling. While this is definitely best practice for multiple reasons, I have never seen anyone provide any explanation for how a service like Circle or Coinbase knows if the coins made their way to a DNM.

This is a recurring question of mine so I'm wondering if anyone can offer any sort of ideally evidence-based answer.

I got kicked out of coin base for not tumbling. Learned my lesson fast.

I've been going exchange directly to market forever. Never had an issue.

If you route your BTC via TOR then you should be fine. For personal amount? Seriously, it's not worth Fed's time unless if you're a vendor. That being said, as being a vendor, it's important to take precaution seriously.

If you're a vendor:

1) Use TOR or a trusted VPN provider.

2) Tumble coin using JoinMarket (aka JoinCoin).

3) You can shape-shift BTC to throw third party BTC tracker off track such as coinalytics - shapeshift (dot) io

Again, for personal drug usage, I wouldn't sweat it. I wish coinalytics best of their shitty endeavors.

Exchange---->Electrum---->DNM is also a fairly good option.
