What thousands of red flags? Lol. ChipMixer was the most decent mixer until it was confiscated by the authorities. Whirlwind suddenly stopped operating and every user who deposited, got refunded. As for custody of the coins, I have warned every single time that you're putting trust that it won't take the users' coins and disappear, and that it is not a honeypot. If you're OK under these terms, then what's the problem?

Am I now representing the "trusted members of Bitcointalk" as a whole? If you want to accuse me, let me know in the Reputation board. I'm personally sleeping easy knowing that I've always clarified the potential events that might happen when you forfeit custody of your coins.
