What evidence has been found that links the crypto-mining wallets with the 1337X admins?
Literally nothing. This entire thing is one of the stupidest controversies that I've ever seen. One idiot made a wild accusation about the 1337 mods based on no evidence and apparently that was good enough for this community....we are better than this people, grow up.
See my reply to Whiskey Pickle for the evidence.
I read through the wayback link you had, but it really just sounds like admin are busy with their other lives and getting frustrated with new users spamming "trojan found" which is an extremely common thing to see from new users and they don't have time to verify everything out there. Even saying it has "unpacker.exe" wouldn't mean anything as the release was packed. Unless the wallet address can actually be tied to admin/mods, then that's just heresay.
That VitaminX user sounds shady as all hell, but that doesn't mean admin are doing backhanded deals with some users.
