OP, no offense, but you should stop reading third-rate news portals that produce clickbait headlines, and their whole story boils down to mere speculation involving some kind of blockchain-spying company. Does it even matter through which mixer those funds went through (if they did at all), and who says they didn't use some other mixer as well?

Oh wow. Do you consider Cointelegraph as a third-rate news portal? I used to read Coindesk, Cointelegraph and BitcoinMagazine for crypto news. It doesn't really matter what mixer is used by those hackers! But it matters for the Mixer platform. Believe it or not, The Governs rely on those reports and start an investigation. If the allegation is true that Sinbad is Blender.io, If the U.S. Treasury Department were able to seize Blender.io, wouldn't they will be able to seize Sinbad too? Nobody knows if those hackers used other mixers as well. But, You cannot blame a news portal for not knowing that. They just reported what they know so far.

The OP (as well as some others) obviously think that topics like this are appropriate for the Reputation board, although it would be more appropriate to post them elsewhere.

Maybe service discussion? Because both Mixer and Atomic Wallet are services. Maybe this could fit better in the Service discussion section. Or, you may want to suggest where it fits best!

Meh, I guess once again it proves criminals are lazy even in the amount of millions it's just time and effort to make it anonymous instead of going through a centralized mixer or exchange.

Huh? I thought only exchanges could be centralized. How the heck can a mixer be centralized?
