I've been very sad about receiving several PM's from users that had funds at blender and now have no way of contacting them or getting it back... I will support the flag and I will of course remove my positive trust.
I doubt we'll ever see them back, no matter what happens, but yeah. I'm not happy.

BitBlender is in any case left little time to its users to withdraw their coins, completely nonprofessional from them. We can not say with confidence that the end of their business is actually a scam exit strategy, but it is possible that they use Bestmixer case to carry out something like this. It is also possible that there was a danger of ending as Bestmixer, so that they were forced to react quickly.
According to the list maintained by LeGaulois, there are currently 14 active mixers.
A tad bit off-topic, but how many mixer services are left? I think I'm advertising for one of the last ones here.

Supported. I'm not sure what's going on with the coin mixers, but I assume this one was being aggressively hounded by the authorities and just figured they ought to high-tail it out of wherever they were located--without returning their customers' funds, and that's the lousy part. I swear, looking for an honest business in the crypto space is like searching for an honest mechanic.

Have you contacted any of the victims to have them create a scammer flag?
Another day another shady as fuck business shuts down & runs with users money. Some people are real cunts, thanks for highlighting this. I’ve showed Support to the flag any way, hope users can somehow recoup funds.
There was something that did not make sense to me. They gave their users very short time (few days only) and the announcement was in their ANN topic (if I am not mistaken). How many people actually read updated in ANN topic. They had clients from around the world not just from the forum.
Was there any warning quote/text in their website? I can not remember if I have seen any. It was simple to add a warning text on their website for few days or a week before they shut down completely their service.
Anyway, I left support for the flag. I hope those who lost their money, somehow get them back.

I have created a flag against blender, the owner of BitBlender.io on the forum.
Flag: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=72
They announced that they were shutting down on May 27, 2019:
They ran the service for a few more days, and then took down the Tor site which is where the mixing service was located. Clearnet bitblender.io is still up, but it is only a static page. Looking at the last two pages of the ANN thread, there are many users complaining that they were unable to recover funds. Some examples:
I don't think they'll be back. But for a site that has scammed someone, their trust score is positive, which is definitely not right.

I didn't have time to withdraw my btc 
it was much too short notice
Is there any way you could switch it back on for a short time with only withdrawals enabled? Or anything else that could be done?

I did not have time to see the notice of closure. How do I contact Bitblender for a refund? 
Is there any way to get a message to Blender? The notice was way too short and I still have Bitcoin with the service.
I don't think they'll be back. But for a site that has scammed someone, their trust score is positive, which is definitely not right.
