Months ago someone had posted here with some evidence that the mixing of the a mixing service was inadequate to mask transactions but nobody seemed to take it seriously.
It's weird how many users on this forum were ready to overlook on-chain evidence while the platform in question was pumping thousands of USD every week in advertising directly towards forum users at the time. Now that there's some
credible accusations of fraud it's hard to ignore these older accusations.
It was proven that mixers are useless for large amounts. They're basically used for people here to launder their signature funds so they feel safe evading taxes or for small time scammers to deposit money with 3rd parties without worrying about having their accounts traced back to the scam.
The amount of gaslighting from paid signature campaign members was crazy though. Still is. I even told them right before ChipMixer shut down that it was going to be shut down and instead of praise I received attacks for the warning. That's when I realized these people are insane and willing to do or support anything for a paycheck. The fact the forum had to ban these programs to get users to stop promoting money laundering is crazy in itself. Unfortunately, Default Trust was owned by ChipMixer basically, so they were able to get away with anything here. It will take a long time and a lot of new members before the Mixer crowd gets diluted enough in DT for anything to change. A lot of people here will do or say anything for money. Don't forget that. They'll even try to convince you they didn't sell out to support a money laundering organization and will try to tell you it's a privacy thing, which after the first sentence I quoted above should be nonsense to anyone paying attention.
