What's ironic is that they are into a business of erasing tracks, of wiping out traces and links which could lead to any user's identity, of privacy in other words, but they somehow failed to do that themselves. That Sinbad.io is the old Blender.io may or may not be true at all, but with all the coincidences mentioned by LeGaulois it seems they failed to clean their own tracks.
That's the first thing I thought of also, if you're a mixer and you can't obfuscate your own payments, which obviously lead to your entire camouflage and rebranding being blown away, one would really ask himself how good they are with other stuff that's mixing related. Now, when they say the funds have come from Blender, the mixer was previously hacked, are those coins that have been on the run since then or coins that have been "left' there when the site shut down?
Would be rather ironic to have funds that have been stolen from them mixed through their revamped mixer.
If this is true, I am still trying to understand why they had to go through the long road of relaunching as a brand-new mixer yet the old name had already gained recognition?
Cause it got two kinds of recognition, and while one could get you a lot of clients the second one can land you on a most wanted list.
The moment they would brag about being the same guys, haha, you can't stop us, we're still here it would definitely make a few higher-ups in the US agencies pissed, with this outcome everyone is happy, blender was a success story of shutting down a website, Sinbad is one of the tens of mixers around, till now nobody cares and things go on.
