Any one have any news on how to retrieve the bitcoins deposited to chip mixer….. or can we claim our assets to German Authorities.

I'm curious about that too. Many people used ChipMixer for privacy, which (still) isn't illegal. But if you're going to claim your vouchers is back from the German authorities, your privacy will be gone.

How will that even be possible. They will just prosecute you for being a user of ChipMixer, they don't really care about who exactly is using the service. From their point of view (and Pennsylvania's, whose court issued the seize warrant in the first place), everyone's a criminal for using it.

Will the real Chipmixer please stand up?

Yeah, the government gestapo won't be able to seize the TOR site, they would need access to the chipmixer server for that. Obviously they wouldn't be able to do that.

Oof.... very bad timing.

Another development, searching for "chipmixer" on google doesn't provide any of the previous scam sites in the results.

I'm just seeing more and more news articles on Google at the moment. No new info anywhere though yet. Nothing says anyone was arrested, just servers and Bitcoin seized.

Only press release I can find at the moment: https://www.europol.europa.eu/media-press/newsroom/news/one-of-darkwebs-largest-cryptocurrency-laundromats-washed-out

1900 BTC seized and 7TB of data. Chipmixer was supposed to not keep much data, and I really can't imagine they did. Hopefully (and probably??) not identifying data.

This is quite disturbing. I would have assumed the servers were located somewhere beyond the reach of European and US authorities. According to that article, 1,909.4 bitcoins were also seized along with the servers. The way chipmixer was operated would suggest that the bitcoin and the data would be more secure than that, so I hope the article is wrong.

At least now, with some relative certainty, we can put to rest the accusation that Chipmixer was a NSA honeypot. Grin

And I love the use of "suggest, may, possibility" when mentioning every single thing.

The claim "A large share of this is connected to darkweb markets ...." is the opposite of any other (actual) research on mixers I've seen in the past.

7TB seems too much even if they were logging every chip. Honestly no idea what that could be.

I was about to say the same, but there are 4 servers mentioned, I imagine 2 TB of those would be nodes?

Hi …. Chipmixer is seized by German police…. What about chips that were in process of mixing.

I wouldn't get your hopes up too high. Sad

TOR site is actually seized too. A notice pops up once you start clicking through a little bit.

Oh...

Actually some trolling by the agents. Tongue

And the page footer:

https://i.ibb.co/2WZ64kb/chm2x1.png

Damn, actually not a troll. ChipMixer.com was seized.

The TOR website is still up and running, though.

A reminder that chipmixer.com (clearnet) wasn't operating as a mixer for some time. All it did was link people to the actual mixer which runs solely through Tor.

Yeah, the government gestapo won't be able to seize the TOR site, they would need access to the chipmixer server for that. Obviously they wouldn't be able to do that. With all the corruption and censorship being attempted by the FED these days, TOR will likely be our only option going forward.

Damn, actually not a troll. ChipMixer.com domain was seized.

P.S: A reminder that chipmixer.com (clearnet domain) wasn't operating as a mixer for some time. All it did was link people to the actual mixer which runs solely through Tor.

Also, it's quite trivial to seize a clearnet domain since they are centralized, so that doesn't mean ChipMixer's operator was captured (otherwise tor would be down as well).

"Onionsite Not Found"

seem the site is not up yet, is everyone know how long usually down, have fund need to use

I also can't connect to it, how long it's offline for might depend on what took them offline in the first place. The last time it needed admin intervention I think it took just a few days for it to be fully functioning again - if it's a ddos or automated attack it'll likely come back sooner.
