You recommend sweeping? Why not send individual UTXO'S out over a few weeks/months?

Whether you want to sweep all your UTXOs at once or one at a time is up to you, and depends on your specific situation and how you manage your coins.

It doesn't matter if the Feds got all the xpubs from Samourai, they can see every past and future transaction you made with that wallet.

I don't believe the samourai devs would be stupid enough to write their wallet to upload xpubs to their servers. Most wallets just upload single addresses, and have a hard-coded lookahead for derived addresses (e.g 50) on which they detect activity.

So while your whole xpub is not at risk here, your next 25/50/100 derived receive/change addresses could be, and practically speaking that is pretty sketch. If you launched Samourai recently, I would just sweep money and ditch the whole seed, then clean any coins you had on samourai.

Sparrow?

I had some BTC in Samourai, both pre-mixed and post-mixed. I was able to recover all of it by installing Sparrow and following #517530
