I would just add to this theory the possibility that the same people are behind Tornado Cash and whirlwind mixers.
One of the co-founders, Roman Storm was arrested in Washington on 23. August 2023

There is another hypothesis, which is that the developer of the service has a relationship in one way or another with Tornado Cash. Both services are very similar in terms of name, design, logo and a lot of things. On 10 August 2022, Tornado Cash developer Alexey Pertsev[1] was arrested.
tornado.cash >> Whirlwind.money >> The same logo >> same UI design
If this is true, then the US Treasury Department has blacklisted the service[2], and therefore either he was arrested or tried to hide himself, especially since the service did not seem profitable and he did not withdraw $40,000.
If this is the case, it is best to forget about this service (or trying to receive escrow payments) and consider you lost your money.

Jollygood, how strange your negative campaign against the Sinbad.io mixer looks now https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5454407

The only valid excuse would be that this whole service is run by a single person, and that person is dead, in jail, hospital, or anything that stops him from physically operating the mixer, and that won't be any better than the whole service being a straight-out scam.
