In the statement released by the FBI or whoever it was when the most recent mixer was shut down they said something like "Mixers are not illegal". This means using mixers is not illegal. If you're carrying out any illicit activities with mixers, that's what is illegal.

It's the same thing with using the Internet.
You're boldly using the Internet and nobody has come knocking at your door simply because you use the internet, but if you use the internet for illegal activities, somebody might come knocking.

That's certainly true, mate. But be aware that governments can make mixers "illegal" anytime if they want to. Especially if they see crypto becoming extremely-popular in the long run. They will come up with the excuse that mixers are used mainly for money laundering and tax evasion. People that are caught using a mixer could either face jail time or may be required to pay a fine.

In extreme situations, governments can prosecute developers of non-custodial mixers for launching an unregistered money service business (MSB). With US Senator Elizabeth Warren introducing the "Digital Currency Anti-Money Laundering Act", we should expect the worse. At least, within the US. Other countries might do the same if they see people "ditching" Fiat in favor of crypto. It's all part of the agenda to undermine personal freedom and privacy. Even this forum will ban anyone promoting mixers. It'll be a dark future for the whole crypto/Blockchain industry Sad
