They can proactively do this without request from authorities because they are going to uphold their standards to keep their exchange more safely from regulations and sanctions.

They just were fined $4B because of failure in KYC, AML.

They even don't have to know about signature campaign. The Escrow address of signature campaign fund is mentioned from document about the Sinbad.io seizure so Binance do know about that address.

Binance is asking the details of the escrow wallet because the authorities are asking them. Why do you think that they don't know anything about the Signature Campaign. The know almost everything and in due course of investigation a lot more information would be revealed.

I don't think this investigation would harm the forum in any possible way. As of now the authorities have not termed mixers as illegal. The forum was only used to promote Sinbad mixer through the signature campaign. There is nothing wrong in advertising a product. Already Theymos has taken a precautionary step and banned all mixer from next year.

Of course, they don't declare them illegal until it gets declared illegal, chipmixer for example started in what year again? 2017 or 2018 I think, and operated till 2022 or early this year (sorry, I am not a record keeper) before it got declared illegal and seized, same thing have happened with Sinbad, and one after the other, all mixers will keep getting seized, and the more this forum keeps promoting them, they more dangerous it becomes for the continues existence of the forum.

Yeah, I saw that already, I was probably still typing this thread when theymos posted about mixers getting banned from this forum beginning from next year, a confirmation of what I initially thought or assumed.

Sinbad was not declared as illegal before, until recently. Everyone promoting the service have removed their signature immediately Sinbad was taken down.

Recently, theymos think this kind of thing can still happen in the future and said no one should advertise mixers again on this forum, starting January 1.

Mixers to be banned

No one on this forum is advertising a service that has been sanctioned or banned by authority.

Authorities already know everything, lol you want to go around them. 😂

I don't know if this has been discussed before, I hope its not exactly in the same perspective as this one, I will sure lock the thread if a previous thread/discussion is exactly same lines as this one.

I believe we all are aware that OFAC-(office of foreign asset control) have recently sanctioned Sinbad - a bitcoin mixing service that was being promoted/advertised on this forum by users through their signature ad spaces.

Now, the escrow bitcoin address which held the fund used to pay Sinbad signature ad campaign participants has also been blacklisted by Binance, and they are also investigating the transactions carried out through this same address.



Now again, I did a little research on how possible it is for authorities to trace Sinbad services to this forum, I started by first searching the keyword..
"Sinbad" - and there was no mention of this forum all through, no result even showing sinbad as a mixer.

I decide to search the keyword..
"Sinbad bitcoin mixer" - and there was no mention of this forum in the search result until the 15th result which mentioned this thread - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/my-first-experience-using-a-mix-sinbad-yomix-5445243
And the 21st result which mentioned this thread - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/warning-another-fake-sinbad-mixer-5450517

I proceeded to doing the search with the escrow bitcoin address which was provided by @Royse777 in the Sinbad signature Ann thread, and the Sinbad signature Ann thread came up second in the Google search result, after blockexplorer.one.

Now, my concern is, wouldnt it make sense to remove the Sinbad escrow address from this forum? And also remove anything that could make it easy for authorities to trace transactions from that address to this forum, and it's users?

Is this forum not going to be in danger if authorities trace transactions with services they have sanctioned down to this forum?

Maybe this is nothing, either way, consider me being over curious and conscious  .
