I've always been a bit suspicious about mixers. The websites were always so sketch imo like as if they couldn't be more obvious. I'm not exactly sure if  this was the first or not but it sounds like it may have been a big bust for Europe

All I know is that I know nothing.
Apparently this is the first time ...

what about BitMixer?
it wasn't exactly a authorities kicking down their doors but the circumstances were suspicious in my opinion, they suddenly grew a conscious after years of giving service and mixing coins and shut down their operation and went away. there was a lot of talk about how they were under pressure from law enforcement.

that is super crazy but honestly it was bound to happen sometime especially if they have companies like ciphertrace who help scout out bad actors on public blockchains

Apparently this is the first time law enforcement has taken an action against crypto mixers.
It's funny because I am familiar with Bestmixer was just looking at it last week actually lol
