Sir Spoon The Second Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 8 minutes ago, Dominant said: It would be the perfect exit-scam the only logical reason i can think of for this to be an exit is if they just wanna cause chaos in the economy and just give 1 giant middle finger to the whole community, knowing some of the 2 owners history but not much it does seem like an option but they are most likely making bank form the site witch makes it a dumb idea for them to plan and do this as an exit as they can just continue to make money passively from the site to make living more comfortable for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, they can just blame random Rusians, while it actually is the site owners/ mods who did it. If they do not reimburse the original owners of the scammed items, because of let's say terms of conditions, they would not have any costs or losses to this exit-scam. Except for the possibility of other traders not wanting to use their site anymore. But let's be honest, people with uncommon currencies probably always will. This situation could just be their new-years bonus. Andrew Lim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This situation could just be their new-years bonus. after this hacking it brings in to the question can this site be trusted and knowing the history of the owners the answer should be no, I am talking more on the side of the big name traders and believe the only people that would still be using the site are people who don't know much about trading, people that don't care, or people that can't trade on other cash for item sites and or BP I do agree that the site could bounce back and I don't fully rule out the possibility that this is an exit I just believe that the site will die all be it very slowly and don't find this logical enough to make this an exit I do agree with what your saying and I haven't ruled out the possibility that this is an inside job this is just what I think as its hard for me to fathom the idea that this would be an exit or a pay increase for this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
