It's effectively a warez site. There's a reason why they host in the places they do and can't be too picky about providers.

CF will also pass through things like DMCAs easily.

Based on their sidebar, it's probably hosted at Ecatel or whatever they are called now (cybercrime host) via Epik as a reseller, the provider famous for hosting far-right stuff.

What’s the reason behind where they host and having issues with providers? I haven’t heard this before

Regarding DMCA’s, as an entity doing business where they’re legal, what should they do as a middle man?

Don't use them and instead have your middleman be in a country that ignores intellectual property rights and copyright?

I'm not saying CF is wrong to pass them through. I'm just saying CF is not the right choice for a warez site for longevity.
