Direct answer
ChipMixer appears in public DOJ case context through a March 15, 2023 release involving seizure and charges. Mixer Explained uses that source to explain enforcement context at a high level. The page does not recreate service mechanics, imply guilt beyond the source status, or provide legal advice.
