# Are transactions from two separate bitcoin accounts on Ledger Nano S independent of each other?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2021-09-06)

John Doe creates two separate bitcoin accounts on a ledger nano s and funds the accounts from two separate sources. The first funding source is a known terrorist organization and the second funding source is Coinbase or some other KYC compliant exchange.

Can the bitcoin on the first account funded by the terrorist organization be linked to the bitcoin on the second account belonging to John Doe if both accounts live on the same Ledger Nano S? Assume that there are no transactions between the two accounts.

1. A single future transaction between the two accounts would trigger a reaction from any Onchain surveillance system that is being used.
2. If the IP address or device fingerprint that was used to send a TX at the major exchange was ever used on another account at the same exchange or was affiliated with a TX of another known terrorist financing address. Onchain surveillance just scans all public lists even if they aren’t all trust worthy, depends how reliable of data the researcher is willing to use.
