That would then raise the question (and conspiracy theories) about what happened to the owner/operator of Whirlwind if he was that upright.

I'm curious if Hhampuz tried emailing his contact again:

I got an email back from whirlwind just now and it was as I suspected - something happened.

Basically, main people lost access due to travels while people still with access didn't have the right credentials to solve basic issues that caused withdraws to get stuck on the back-end. I've been assured that nothing has been lost and that all will be taken care of tomorrow meaning all currently pending withdraws will be processed and things return back to normal. It was an unfortunate situation is all!

I've asked my contact at whirlwind to reply in this thread whenever they can with further details, so from now until then/tomorrow night there is no need to panic even if I wouldn't recommend you to deposit until the backlog is cleared. Campaign participants will also be paid out as per usual tomorrow, regardless of if you've removed your signature or not.

If his contact is not the same person as "main people", it wouldn't make sense for "something" to have happened to all of them at the same time.

I suppose Hhampuz would be the only person to answer the question. Maybe he will post the answer. The problem we face is we just do not know what the facts behind the case are.

Maybe he had all the SSH keys and passwords on him and when he (allegedly) was formally indicted for running tornado cash (??) then everything started to fall apart from that point.

Of course, I do not know whether the whirlwind guy was also the tornado cash guy, but it can't be ruled out yet.

The similarities between the Tornado Cash and Whirlwind websites was shown in an image some pages back therefore the connection cannot be ruled out but there is no evidence to connect them either. This is all very baffling.
