Have you seen any criminals using the lightning network?

I have not. So it must be really private.

Q.E.D.

I'm sure there are plenty.

Then I'm sure you can show me where I can buy weed online with lightning

Because I can show you plenty of places where you can do that with monero

Or why are you so sure?

I can't but I don't see why a DN site couldn't have LN as an option. Maybe monero has the privacy network effects as of now.

How would the police catch someone from a LN invoice? Would they control a bunch of nodes and hope that the bad guy routes through them?

Receiver privacy in lightning is a disaster my dude.

How so?

You are doxing your node and from there your channels / utxos.
