Will ChipMixer.com ban or help in tracking bitcoin obtained due to #twitter_hack?
Will they help them if know they are the hackers and what will happen if a judicial or political ruling is issued in that regard?
All analysis firms will track that address and may end up sending coins to ChipMixer
They probably shouldn't... I originally thought at first it'd make sense for them to try to freeze the funds or something but now I don't.
What sort of a sign would this send out to people in the crypto space and beyond if a company aren't delivering on their promises... Also how do you know some of the funds didn't belong to the scammer before they were put through the mixer - contrary to what governments would want you to believe it's not exactly reasonable to take the whole of someone's money just because 10% was involved in illegality).
Most people sent small amounts too to test the waters...
Also, how would you know for certain that the coins in question still belong to the scammer at the point they reach ChipMixer?
If they sent it directly from their scam address to ChipMixer -- maybe. But once the coins start moving, split up across several addresses etc. they might as well already have been sold to some poor unwitting soul in a p2p trade, tunnelled through a crypto casino or similar smallish establishment or maybe even been used to buy goods and services. Blockchain analysis may show you how the coins flow, but it doesn't tell anything about ownership.
