The website in question turned into a scam after its ownership was changed in 2018 and is probably still owned by the same scammer.

What I don't understand is why canton handed over such a sensitive and popular website to new owners who reputation was still unknown?

Why didn't he just put down the whole project if he could not proceed, supporting it?
I mean, that's a honeypot for scammers. It was a just a matter of spending a few thousands of dollars to buy it and then later scam the hell out of some many users who used the site

If i were to make a guess, previous owner offered big amount of money and he accept it. Popular browser extension such as AdBlock plus had similar fate.

The site itself is behind cloudflare, you can try to report to them but for the most part they really don't care about what they protect.

They even protect many piracy website, even when big companies sue them[1][2][3]. So i doubt they'll stop serve bitcoinpaperwallet[dot]com.
