It's abundantly clear to anyone with even a basic level of critical thinking that protecting victims from thieves trying to mix their coins is not the coordinator's responsibility.

I never claimed the coordinator has that "responsibility". Victims are responsible for protecting themselves, any voluntary assistance given to victims by others falls in the category of "heroism".

Just because I don't believe in "an eye for an eye" doesn't mean I expect random entities to take on arbitrary roles, like this one.

So would you rather a coinjoin coordinator anonymize SBF's stolen coins or block SBF from anonymizing those coins? Analyze this scenario in a vacuum.

You and I both know that you're not interested in having a genuine conversation to uncover the truth. You just want to have the upper hand in the discussion and shut me down at the first opportunity.

If you feel this statement "shuts down" your argument, then I've thoroughly proven my point:

Hey BlackHatCoiner, my wallet is now a "mixing site" service, send me your coins and I won't charge you any fees.

Clearly you aren't willing to accept this "service" even though it's offered to you for free. That's because it's not a "service" at all, it's an obvious scam: I get your coins and you get no privacy.

As we covered before, even if someone made the foolish choice to use a custodian for this, they would blend in with a larger pool of users by depositing into a custodian that offers an actual economic service like an exchange or a casino instead:

Which part of "it isn't designed to offer privacy" don't you understand? Of course and you can make an account anonymously, but that isn't my point. Your coins could be confiscated for either being "tainted", or your account could be terminated for using a "banned IP address". Can you gain privacy from such service? Perhaps. Is it suitable for that purpose? No.

The mixer you advertise is also not designed to offer privacy. How do you not understand that? Your mixer says it can confiscate your coins or terminate your account, so the only difference between using an exchange and using your mixer is that exchanges have a larger user base. It is not suitable for the purpose of gaining privacy.

The real question is why would you ever want to do that? The exchange isn't portraying itself as a mixer, and if you take the time to read their privacy policy, you'll quickly figure out that you have no privacy.

Did you take the time to read the privacy policy of the mixer you are using?

   modification, change, distortion or any other interference in work of the Mixtum service;
   disturbing or interference in operation of servers or networks used by Mixtum to deliver the Services;

This is why you should absolutely not be recommending mixers to the OP as an alternative for exchanges. You are trading one trusted custodian for another without solving the issue of privacy.
