That's really sad. Bitmixer was arguably one of the best services to exist on this forum for the bitcoin community. Sure it was definitely being used by criminals to mask their identity but there would have been a pack of other legitimate users, using it for their privacy. Hope the guy is released on bail or something. Moreover, I guess this news serves as warning for other services such as chipmixer.
