Mind debunking that news for us?
A few things that stood out to me, which make it look like just another shitcoiner with limited Bitcoin knowledge and / or experience.

He's implying that a mixer is bad because it's used by high-profile criminals is counter-intuitive. If anything, you probably want to use the best privacy tools, even though you have different goals, as high-profile 'wanted' people, such as criminals or persecuted individuals.

ChipMixer has been used by several high-profile criminals, such as the Ronin bridge hackers (from North Korea!) & the Binance hackers.

This user also stated some simply false claims. Such as:

ChipMixer is running normally (on the clearnet, at that!)

The following sentence makes no sense; you can't really have both. And we could get into the 'taint' argument again, i.e. criminals are brought to jail when using cash, too, even though we have some pretty good anonymity when using cash. It is not illegal to exchange one cash bill for another, nobody even thinks about that, and nobody looks at serial numbers on cash bills. Yet he seems to buy into the 'Anonymity helps criminals' argument like a total beginner.

While I obviously support criminals going to jail, I also think optional anonymity is important

He also seems to be clueless about WasabiWallet's anti-Bitcoin and anti-privacy ('just a little privacy') stance:

For those interested in alternatives, check out CoinJoin tools like Wasabi Wallet.
