Bitcoins to old alpha bay wallet

Hi, I read the FAQ post which talks about this. It indicated that I'm "not fucked" and that people receive their coins after sending to an old address all the time. Is this still the case? I had automatic withdraw turned on on bitblender and am kicking myself now.

If the address is over 7 days old, we cannot, since our tumbling system uses a daily script which takes all necessary private keys and recreates our wallet, therefore destroying the old private keys. If the key has been destroyed, your coins will just sit on this address, forever, unclaimed. It's like burning cash.

The upside of this is if LE finds our servers, there will be no evidence that a given BTC address has even been ours. To our knowledge, we're the only BTC service doing this.

If the wallet is no more than a week old, you should be fine
