Any known incidents, where someone got banned because of changed Mixer rules?
It's almost a week now.
The main mixer rule is to never wear the signature, avatar and personal text of a mixing site. Before January 1st, all the mixers have even ended their campaign on this forum and some moved to Altcoinstalks. I am not talking about coinjoin but only those mixers which thrymos was referring to. Because everyone is obeying the rule, no one is punished for no offense.
I don't understand why mixers are singled out. Anyone can put coins in an exchange and withdraw them randomly. Unless the exchange is a honeypot, it can be used as a mixer.
Chipmixer was used to launder scammed money. Followed by Sinbad. The forum is talked about by one of the regulators or so about how they advertise mixers. If another mixer is used to launder scammer money, probably theymos and other officials might be in problem. It is better to avoid such than when it would be too late. Theymos do not want this forum to be the government's target has been the reason. Those exchanges follow anti money laundering and counter terrorism financing laws but mixers are not following it.
