ChipMixer didn't commit fraud nor did they cheat their customers.
The owner did commit fraud, but it was related to using stolen identities for the purpose of paying for servers. It is true that they did not cheat their customers, however, got to give credit where its due.
Their service worked exactly as advertised.
Well not exactly. The operator said they wiped all logs after 7 days. The feds were able to confiscate the BTC in several chips that had already been paid out to purchasers, some of the cashouts were months or even
years old...
...
So here's the FAQ:
...
How long do you keep logs?
Your session lasts for 7 days. After that, your session and all its data will be removed. You can also destroy your session before time is up. We keep statistical data ie. how much was donated.
I would assume the private keys to chips would be included in data to be wiped, but technically it was never clarified.
Anyway, sorry for the OT.
