He is clearly another thing. I don't know what's the problem with him, to be frank. From the day he created his account, he's "defending" his buddies from everyone's reasonable concerns. And when ChipMixer and a few other mixers were confiscated by the authorities, he held the campaign participants accountable for all the users who lost their coins. This holds as much water as accusing a TV channel for showing an advertisement of a company that had trouble with law enforcement.
He's not dumb, though. He has studied the things he's claiming. WabiSabi, as an example, or his (sometimes) reasonable accusations on Samourai wallet. But, he's evasive, resorts to whataboutism and twists the facts like
a lot. He's also dishonest, and did I mention he's evasive?
I have him on ignore list since then. I know it's not nice, since somebody has to counter him too and expose his lies, but yeah, my sanity matters too.
I don't believe money is his motive. His coordinator charges no fees. He's just a scumbag whose ultimate goal is to make Wasabi appear to be the best privacy solution that everyone should use. And those who don't should be burned at the stake.
Maybe he lost a bet, I really don't know what's all this fuss of his.
Not banning the wallet is one thing, but isn't actively promoting the coordinator more or less the same as promoting mixing?
Let's not dig our own holes here, please. Mixing, according to theymos' jurisdiction, includes forfeiting custody. If we start banning Wasabi coordinators, then every single privacy solution can be banned respectively.
