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.
He may be right from the statement on changing to a new website and maybe that's proof he is the new 1xbit management, but who cares about what he says to recover losses from members, the 1xbit team has claimed the previous statement of recovery but we get reports from members not being refunded, now they come again carrying the same announcement as the member's recovery statement.
