does this mean anything?

It more or less reiterates the risk factors we've talked about in the thread, mainly that they use Whoisguard to protect the details of their domain registration. They say that it's been reported as untrustworthy and they've detected negative online feedback for it, but they don't give any references or links to explain it. Says it's been given a low reliability rating by other websites, so I'd be curious to know who those other websites are.

I've done a lot of searching online about the site and so far, I haven't seen any serious complaints. Everyone has been able to withdraw, people usually get prompt responses from support inquiries on the site. I guess I'd like it if these guys would do more to substantiate the negative rating, in terms of pointing out the negative feedback and which sites have called it untrustworthy.

I agree that using the Whoisguard service to disguise registration details would tend to make users nervous, I'm not totally comfortable with it...but I keep going back to BTC-e and how anonymous that site is, yet it is responsible for a huge amount of the daily trading in crypto-currency and people trust it because of longevity. BTC-arbs is new, so there's a healthy amount of distrust out there about it...but so far, so good is my attitude.
