Welp....
more services are shutting down. I was going to publish the updates today but that is been postponed in case we see any of the other sites on this list going down.
If mixers, coinjoin wallets, and no-KYC services are supposedly being used to launder billions of dollars, it makes you wonder why they are not going after actual criminals but instead they go after software developers and are forcing anything related to privacy to shut down. Money laundering is just a pretense they are using to restrict freedom and increase how much control they have over people’s lives, just like how the 9/11 attacks were used to justify passing some of the most Orwellian legislation.
Good point! Just like anything in life, big guys are always safe. Those who produce massive amount of drugs are always free but those who sell a thing or two get caught immediately.
It is just an excuse to say that mixers are used for money laundering and that's all. If they can detect and shut down the mixer, they can also track those who launder millions and billions of dollars and arrest all of them but instead, you know, bunch of excuses and they do whatever they do.
Just an easy and quick example: Launder money via JP Morgan, Deutsche Bank or via other bank. Guess, what? You'll get arrested but Mexican billionaire cartels will not get caught and also bank will continue business without an issue. Basically, it's okay if banks let big criminals to launder money but it's not okay for mixers.
The US failed to track more than $1 billion in military gear aid to Ukraine, wonder why? And no one gets arrested but as they brainwash people, many believe that cryptos and mixers are only used for evil.
