Just checked out that thread and I call bullshit since he didn't provide any sort of proof to back up his bold claims honestly speaking. I would believe him only if he actually does whatever he stated and provides proof of the same.
As of now, he is just another newbie who is all bark and nothing more.
I think what the guy said is true, and he does provided a proof which seems to be true.
The proof by you visiting 1xbit.com.
Type 1xbit.com into your browser and click the enter button, you will notice that you will be automatically redirected to 1xbit1.com, this is something he clearly stated on the thread and I think that is a enough proof already, and the site looks like its been redesigned a bit as well.
