I am curious as well, I have talked online with some of the people who run cryptohippie and they seem like nice libertarian fellows. I wouldn't trust them with my own traffic, but I don't see any reason to trust them less than any other random VPN provider, other than the fact that they associate with Topletz perhaps. JonDoNym is another VPN provider that looks less evil than most. But I wouldn't really use a VPN if it can be avoided, obfsproxy bridges look like a better idea for hiding that you use Tor imo.
