But I remember seeing that group being blacklisted and called out in multiple Piracy communities and wikis a few years ago.

What happened? Are they good now?

      Looks like this happened 5+ years ago... Did someone in the group go rogue and they were removed? I'll have to look up the piracy games sub reddit when I can get to my computer but at this point it seems to be a nothing burger if it happened so long ago
