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)

... 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.
