Are there any information saying how exactly they caught him?
He used Electrum, Bisq and Monero, so it must have been when he sold crypto for fiat currency, and that makes me think Dutch police are also using Bisq exchange themselves.
They probably sell cash for crypto and examine all large transactions.

They probably found all transaction information on computers and devices seized from him.

There are some extension you can use as Bitcoin wallet, but I wouldn't suggest anyone should use this instead of Electrum wallet.
Many extensions can turn out to be a scam so watch out for that, but I think Liquality wallet is acceptable and it can be used as exchange with atomic swaps.
Safepal released their browser extension but it's closed source and I don't recommend anyone should use it.
 

Sure it can happen, but every serious company in the world have their own email with domains, it would be silly if everyone would use just gmail.
Blocking usually happens if people are using shared hosting, and I am not 100% sure but I think that ledger and trezor considered switching to self-hosted emails after leaking of their newsletter with third party partners.

Sure this is true if you run your own node, but ff you are using Bisq and lightning network based exchanges, you need to have some level of trust in their nodes.

Because some people here are using closed source stuff and in same time they preach other about openess... I didn't say it was you

I consider proof when someone publicly reports that his transaction was blacklisted.
Announcing a plan to do something in future is not the same thing as doing it right now.
Announcing a plan for trezor and wasabi to work together in future, doesn't even mean it will happen the way someone imagines.

I can announce anything right now and say it will happen in future, like me start growing horns, etc.
If you think that is automatically a proof this thing actually happened, then I have nothing else to add.
I personally prefer patience.

Sure, anyone can take a break in forum and be inactive for some time.
Problem is that I don't understand how someone located in Russia can run and operate business with app that works in New York city and United States.
Do you have any office and people who work in New York city or everything is done as a virtual startup?

If I understand correctly vsys.host and SHKeeper are part of the same team.
Nice to see segwit is fully supported, but I am interested to know how exactly are hardware wallets supported and integrated with SHKeeper?
It would be nice to see comparison and advantages compared to BTCPayServer and other self-hosted payments processors like CypherpunkPay or SatSale.

If you check their roadmap you will see that USDT should be supported starting from September 2022 both as ERC20 and TRC20.
This crypto modules look simple on their github page, so I guess it's not so hard to add any other coins in future.

This is still in early testing development, they announced it will be improved in future with more features, and you can make suggestions for free access.
I don't need super-fast blockchain explorer with all the bells and whistles that can record and report connection between all my wallet and IP addresses.
SpiralBTC is a good mobile alternative for watch only wallet.

mempool.space + Tor and your own node is much much better than Blockstream in every way.
Comparing this with new thing like SpiralBTC is not realistic.

Sure, but if you are not self-hosting btc node and just using Tor, I think that SpiralBTC is better option for privacy.

It's probably the same thing with most small exchanges, but maybe someone could try to find Crex Bitcoin address to see if there are any big movement of coins.
This would indicate they are shutting down long before this recent situation when website can't be accessed from anywhere.

I never said anything about withdrawing coins from crex, but you are the one who created this topic and asked a question
They probably have same message for every location and they just add country name based on detected IP address.

Did anyone saw new bitcoin explorer claiming they are using homomorphic encryption that guarantee privacy for Bitcoin addresses you check on their website?
This is different from all other blockchain explorers that are connecting address you enter with your IP address and they can potentially store (and sell) that information indefinitely.
They have code released on github, they released a paper explaining how everything works, and they plan having some partnership with ledger wallet in future.

I tried testing with few addresses and it's working but pages can be opened slower than using regular explorers, and less information about transactions is shown.
Website is working and opening pages just fine even in Tor browser.

If you self-host everything else, why don't you do the same thing for emails as well?
I know most people use gmail, but you can't seriously expect them to respect any customer privacy.
You don't sell anything directly to third parties, but google can and probably are sharing all email content with government agencies.

Do you have any official reseller stores in US and in other parts of the world that can sell Passport devices for cash or bitcoin in person?
I think this is a best way for reducing digital footprint and there is no risk of any leaks happening in future.

I don't know, but how do you know which code is running on any servers for all other bitcoin wallets and services you use?
I am not defending wasabi or anything else, but someone running closed source wallet knows even less.
Sure, I am not trusting wasabi very much with their new coinjoin, but I wont trashtalk them without any proof... if someone want's to be speculation king...go for it

In reality you know jack shit about anything you use online or offline.
You are still running wiInd0ws OS crap in combination with closed source wallets and you are teaching us some lessons here, please give me a break

All I am getting right now is login page for creating my order, and that's about it, so is there any page on your website with more information about your service?
You are paying people directly with Bitcoin, and that Bitcoin is held in custodial or non-custodial wallets?
There should be some FAQ page and same for Privacy Policy.

I see Churkin account recently woke up, and one more issue I noticed is that domain is registered from Russia, so I would be very careful with this:

https://www.whois.com/whois/bringa.me

Easy solution is to use CoingGecko cand create account there, but there is also alternative apps and I suggest trying one app called crypTrax from bitcointalk member Escaflowne.
crypTrax is open source app that works on all operating systems and you don't have to create any coingecko account:
ANN topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5375431.0

One more alternative option for desktop portfolio manager is open source app called Rotki:

Do your own research before using and installing anything.

No I don't, but I know there are several websites that can track that and alert you via email, sms, telegram, discord, and other way of communication.
This can reduce your privacy and connect your bitcoin address with your real identity so I don't suggest anyone to use this, but here is one website I know:
https://cryptocurrencyalerting.com/

All this web3 multiple chains is junk and big security risk, and we already know about many hacks related with bridges.

Can someone find a single country in the world that can access Crex24 website?
I tried with several different locations and I am always getting the same message, and I even tried IP address from Russia that is their real location (I think).
This probably started few months ago, and this is their way of saying adios to everyone 

I don't see how that would be useful for bitcointalk forum, since there is no automated recovery process here, and it can be used hacking accounts, because nay people don't keep seed words correctly offline.
It's much better to add optional 2FA support for better account security.

Not exactly true statement.
Theymos just made forum changes adding OP next to the member who started a topic

So what if you don't have electrum on your new computer, just install it again or use standalone version.
Good alternative for Electrum would be another open source wallet called Sparrow and I think it works even better in combination with ledger device.

I don't understand how your mixing works, so you should explain it better and show some proof that mixing really happened.
Maybe also consider adding few more privacy coins on your website, if you really want to add mixing phrase.

Is this going to be available also without passing KYC verification?
And tell me what happens if coins I sent you for swap/mixing gets frozen on centralized exchange you are using as third party?
Please name exactly all exchanges you are using.

No it's not safe.
Exchanges should be used only for trading, not for storing any coins long term, unless you want to lose them.
Your account and funds can get frozen, and exchange can be hacked any times, that happened before many times.
Offline wallets can be used for storing, or how wallets for storing pocket money and smaller amount of coins.
