Providers releasing names is really bad precedent. The NXT lynch mob might want to take a few minutes to think about a solution with less unintended consequences like asking the provider to not launder the stolen NXT.

It might also be an opportunity for the provider to use his knowledge of the accused as leverage to encourage him/her to return the NXT. This would be a big PR win for all without eroding privacy.

Unfortunately they already have been laundered, as in they were cashed out for BTC yesterday morning. At this point the only step left is confronting the account that received the stolen NXT and get their side of the story. If they purchased the NXT from someone else, we want to know who that person was they received it from. I would hope dgex is doing a little bit of research into the situation.

Privacy is important to maintain I agree. At this point its all hearsay anyway. All I know is that if I had purchased the stolen NXT I would come forward with the name of who I purchased them from. So I would think dgex will be able to quite easily get this information from the reputable account holder that sold the NXT. You would think the reputable member would continue to be reputable and pass this information along to the community, otherwise how reputable are they?
