What's going on with this mixer

Am i the only one noticing that the domain has been seized?  is this known yet? (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5125389.msg51168862#msg51168862)

When a site is seized it's supposed to display the famous page "seized by abcd jurisdiction". However, the site is currently displaying 404 Not found. Are people worried just for maintenance (which could be just this) or there is something and the site is really seized??

Weird the site disappears, the exact same day another one is created

Edit:
The site has really been seized

These scammers didn't bother themselves to make some basic changes to the site. (Bestmixer.io "not .com", ANN page for Bestmixer.io)
Does anyone know if the developers of that site created this domain?
I also think some mining viruses run on the background of the site.
