Through thorough analysis, the United States Postal Inspection Service was able to “de-mix” the flow of transactions, to eventually ascertain that the money from Wallets 1 and 2 ultimately paid FROST’s account at the Product Services Company.​13 Similar to the above, the funds from Wallet 4 were also “mixed” by a commercial service, and through thorough analysis, the United States Postal Inspection Service was able to “de-mix” the flow of transactions, to eventually ascertain that funds from Wallet 4 paid FROST’s accounts at the Gaming Company.​14 Similar to the above, the funds from Wallet 5 were also “mixed” by a commercial service, and through thorough analysis, the United States Postal Inspection Service was able to “de-mix” the flow of transactions, to eventually ascertain that funds from Wallet 5 paid FROST’s account at the Gaming Company.​16 Similar to the above, the funds from Wallet 5 were also “mixed” by a commercial service, and through thorough analysis, the United States Postal Inspection Service was able to “de-mix” the flow of transactions, to eventually ascertain that funds from Wallet 5 paid FROST’s accounts at the Gaming Company.
