I know that many exchanges/services have ran/gone out of business, taking the user's coins with them, but has this already happened with mixing/laundry services? I'd expect that to be the case, but I have found no reports of such events happening.

Once a transaction has 6 confirmations, it is extremely unlikely that an attacker without at least 50% of the network's computation power would be able to reverse it.

Unless you got a long con going, I'm not sure a mixer would want to. Long run profit vs a quick 10k doesn't add up.  I'm not sure how much effort is even put into the mixing, probably all automated so ruining free income is a bad idea. Blockchain.info does it for 0.5% and I'm pretty sure its automated.

I was thinking some sketchy startup mixer might have tried doing that as a small scale scam, but I get your point.

Thanks for the link, but that seems to have been an e-wallet and not a mixing service.
