Their methods were always scummy. For example charging "linking fees" for PayNym that were presented like they were an on-chain fee, but actually were developer fees, Ricochet (which was basically paying yourself) for an absurd fee, etc.
Their coordinator source code was a half-broken pile of scraps, and I had several suspicions there was ways for the coordinator to link the mixing UTXOs due to *implementation* flaws rather than the crypto. (great CTF example: https://mystiz.hk/posts/2024/2024-06-24-google-ctf-1/)
