Your statement:
Wrong. No mixing has taken place on the major balances
is incorrect. It would more acurate to say: The original coins are being processed. The thief is long gone.
Are you saying bitmixer had 1170BTC in reserve, paid them out instantly to the hacker and bitmixer are now in the process of mixing the stolen 1170, which is the splitting we are seeing on the blockchain?
Okay, I looked at the bitmixer FAQ.
We have a large Bitcoin reserve in our mixer (currently 2236.72 BTC)
Massively risky transaction for bitmixer to carry out if the FBI got involved and force them to hand over control of those coins.
Basically now bitmixer.io are fully responsible for the theft and are in possession of the stolen funds, right? They've basically accepted a suitcase full of marked banknotes and exchanged them for a suitcase full of unmarked banknotes. And fully admitted to it in the old thread:
Hello. I've been asked about explanation.
Yes, the hacker used our service. Yes, he already got new coins. Please read more how our service works:
https://bitmixer.io/how.htmlCan we tell you forward addresses where new coins have been transferred to? No. We really don't know. We completely delete all order's data after 12 hours. I'm sorry that someone lost their bitcoins. I understand this is a crime. But if our service can't protect criminal, it will not be able to protect you too.
Regards,
So bitminer.io done it. Inform the Oslo police. Please bitminer.io, return funds to klee and bounty to me if you don't want to spend the rest of your life in prison. Thanks
