Someone had a comment here that just disappeared, mentioning it's by Mark Karpelès (yes, the same guy from MtGox) and Andrew Lee. Why did that remark get deleted?

The people who were convicted of multi-million dollar fraud resulting in someone walking away with millions of dollars of others bitcoin deposits, IIRC (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Karpel%C3%A8s if you want to check details).

Also, I couldn't see where it is based? Anywhere in Five-Eyes countries, or places like USA with national security letters (or just their fascist government) is probably not going to fit most people's that models.

Holy slop-dogged chatgpt output. Including all the other AI-generated assets on their site, is any human even involved in this product?

I'm assuming OP is Mark Karpeles, MagicalTux is a well-known username for him.

And that's the PIA Andrew Lee, not the Firebase Andrew Lee.
