Re: Sanctioned Services and the service traceability to this forum, Any danger?
~~~~~~~~
Now, my concern is, wouldnt it make sense to remove the Sinbad escrow address from this forum? And also remove anything that could make it easy for authorities to trace transactions from that address to this forum, and it's users?
Even if remove or edit their name or mentions and also wallet addresses from posts, even then it cannot be possible to stop the authorities from tracing because they are all archived. All we can do now is not mention anything related to them in any future posts. And I think that's why Theymos is going to introduce the new rule from January 1st.Now, my concern is, wouldnt it make sense to remove the Sinbad escrow address from this forum?

Is this forum not going to be in danger if authorities trace transactions with services they have sanctioned down to this forum?
Maybe this is nothing, either way, consider me being over curious and conscious

I don't completely disagree with the question you raised here, but I also do agree in some part because you already provided a screenshot of a signature participant who was given a notice by Binance. These don't put a person completely in danger, but they are causing some temporary harassment. Moreover, suppose the law enforcement agencies come to your home with a search warrant or take you into their custody for questioning. In my opinion, these are also one type of harassment.Maybe this is nothing, either way, consider me being over curious and conscious
. Moreover, if we talk about the forum, theymos already mentioned some things.

It wouldn't be illegal to continue allowing mixers here. That's why we're able to offer a 1-month grace period. But allowing them has become too risky/problematic, and it's only going to get worse. Imagine 5% of all active forum users being sanctioned due to being paid directly by mixers, or all participants in a big signature campaign being targets of a search warrant, or our service providers suddenly banning us due to being "associated" with mixers, etc. I think that the crypto community is near the start of a multi-year squeezing campaign against mixers; similar to the cannabis industry in the US, or Operation Choke Point, or what happened with Backpage, or the deplatforming of Parler. ~~~~~~~
