If I were a member of an intelligence agency investigating the Chipmixer & Bitcointalk connection, I would be very curious to do a deep dive about several things:
1) The account @Chipmixer was warned many times about severe injustices surrounding Chipmixer campaign management, both in private and via threads like these:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5220060.02) The user @Chipmixer chose to take no action and to leave the entirety of the campaign solely to user @Darkstar's discretion.
3) @Darkstar, a Filipino member, also happens to be the forum treasurer, so has won the trust of not only Chipmixer organization but the forum's own administration as well...
4) @theymos, also warned many times about bounty campaign abuse, collusion between Chipmixer signature wearers to maximize their trust ratings and defame high quality independent forum members to monopolize revenue streams on Bitcointalk, remains completely silent about all these issues for years, also trusts @Darkstar's discretion 100%...
5) Chipmixer campaign looking very odd at times where huge parts of the forum and local sections getting 0 coverage while niche sections like Reputation / Meta where the Chipmixer signature cult loves to reside has almost wall to wall coverage thanks to the same cult members circle jerking their own threads and having very similar posting habits... Member Cryptohunter / bonesjonesreturns and few other aliases he used was brilliant in exposing this highly suspicious group, while a few other users who also noticed these oddities left the forum a while ago...
All these things are very interesting to me and worth looking into, if only for intellectual curiosity and to get a better perspective on what's going on at Bitcointalk...
