If this is in fact the same Payback LTD that the FBI explicitly shut down last year, the state will absolutely need to show that their investigators did not wholly rely on a single bad-faith letter from an identified scam crypto recovery service

Whether any federal LE agent is willing to go on the stand and testify they verified the trace remains to be seen.

There is a lot of moving pieces in trials, I would not be surprised if the AUSA genuinely thought the IRS agent would testify to this (based on memory or some notes)

I will be surprised if any agent testifies to this. In my humble opinion, it would be explicit perjury or career suicide.
