Not convinced this needed a new thread with speculation, the other thread with certain facts that emerged was good enough imo (even if a bit long to read).
With my experience in online scam, I want to assure us that there is no new management, it is same people that wants to try a new domain because the former has been successfully demarketed.
No sane entrepreneur will acquire a scam domain and agree to solve all the scams committed with the domain.

Hello guys!
The OP's account of this thread has nothing to do with 1xBit in any regards.
The referenced link in profile "1xbit1.com" is apparently a legitimate mirror to 1xbit.com however:
1xbit_official said the address is correct in this quoted post.
Again changed and cant login. Im trying to login in the link 1xbit1.com . Is this link correct?
(1xbit.com) In this one i cant even enter in the web as it says "Error the web cant be displayed)
The address is correct, i've asked my colleague from security to double-check if everything is alright.

are restrictions placed on your account.
Additionally there was reportedly an extortion attempt made against 1xbit_official, but unable to confirm:
Furthermore, there is a flag against 1xbit1.com
with incorrect reference link just to confuse matter a little further.
I hope that helps summarise the situation regarding the thread and OP you referenced!
