Douglas Spink was arrested. He was then removed from the team, no longer having access to anything. Df has been the main guy for the past couple years - but that’s cryptostorm becoming a honeypot, in your opinion?
Doesn’t hurt to be overly paranoid, but this is to the extreme.
I have nothing invested in proving it one way or another. It is something I saw a few years ago, and thought I’d mention it now to warn others. If you think it went from honeypot to non-honeypot, then by all means use it. At the end of the day, you cannot fully trust any traditional VPN because they can do what ever they want and we’d be none the wiser, despite all the big claims. VPN’s are for watching geoblocked movies and stuff like that. That’s about it. If you want privacy, you’ll have to look into other things.
Mullvad and Cryptostorm
Cryptostorm is a honeypot that was discovered years ago. I’m surprised anyone even talks about it still
Sources for it being a honeypot?
It was a big controversy years ago. You can take or leave the info. I don’t have the time to look it up.

I don’t think it was ever a honeypot, they contributed a lot to the early VPN communities, following both perfect-privacy and blackvpn.
I do not believe so, but to each their own.
Do you work for Cryptostorm?
No? Confused as to why you’d think that.
May I ask why do you think Cryptostorm is a honeypot?
It was a big scandal some years ago and I don’t have the time to look it up for you. You can take it as you like.
