Using Wormhole Bridge to evade tracking: myth or reality?

I was recently tuned into a live discussion with cybersecurity and forensic experts, and they mentioned something that caught my attention: some criminals allegedly use the Wormhole bridge—for example, transferring funds from Ethereum to Solana—to erase their tracks.

But how does that even work?

As far as I understand, when you send funds through the Wormhole bridge, the recipient’s address on Solana should be recorded in the Ethereum transaction to the bridge’s smart contract. Wouldn't this allow investigators to directly correlate the sender's Ethereum address with the recipient’s Solana address?

So, if this link is clearly traceable on-chain, why do experts claim that Wormhole can be used to "lose" tracks?
