They are, basically. :-) That's what mass is: a wrinkle in spacetime.

Except it does. What's the quantum spin of a black hole? How can you tell?
The problem is not that it falls into a black hole. We can still tell the
mass and charge and angular momentum of everything that has fallen into a
black hole. But the things you can't measure, like some of the quantum
properties like color and spin, those get destroyed.
At least, as I understand it.
