If this is true, I am still trying to understand why they had to go through the long road of relaunching as a brand-new mixer yet the old name had already gained recognition?
This was their last announcement;
Services blender.io and blenderwallet.io are closed for maintenance. Completion dates for technical work will be announced later.
Your funds in Blender Wallet are safe. You can wait for the service to open or access them with a mnemonic and passphrase in the Electrum wallet or any other compatible wallet.
For those who have not received mixing results, they will be sent when the service starts.
We apologize for the inconvenience, please do not worry, the services will be resumed in the near future
Why not just come out of maintenance and continue with the service as normal?
Did they sense that they were being tracked by law enforcement?
