    I think there’s been comments calling out the malware that have been deleted, possibly by the admins. In addition the infected torrentes stayed up for a long while (not sure if they still are or not)

            They admit the listing existed in that statement, and there are easily accessible records of 1337x mods defending the listing prior to its deletion (such as the comment I had also provided in my post). You may need to re-read it?

            I can provide additional sources if necessary.

                … with this reply:

                Haven’t seen any evidence of either of those things though…

                Can you see how I would misunderstand what you were talking about here?

                  Also, to be clear, there is no evidence one way or the other that 1337x mods took a share of the money - not what anyone here really cares about anyways. What’s being put under scrutiny is the fact that they defended a listing which was clearly malware only until it gained attention on Reddit and similar.
