Notes and record state

Record note
HEI uses regulation as the primary death_reason because the terminal shutdown coincided with SEC enforcement over alleged unregistered exchange, broker, and clearing-agency activity. Allegations about the founder and token sale are recorded as context through evidence, but the exchange-level terminal classification follows the regulatory action and shutdown.
Revision state
Records may be incomplete, approximate, contested, or revised as better evidence becomes available.
This record may be incomplete or revised. Dead-side entries prefer archived URLs over original domains. Dates, causes, and classifications may change when stronger evidence becomes available. Contact / corrections
