Notes and record state

Record note
Terminal handling uses the 2019-06-17 disappearance marker. Public inactive / scam-style reporting followed on 2019-06-27 and is preserved in evidence. Death reason is mapped to scam_rug because public reporting and the exchange review describe classic exit-scam characteristics after blocked withdrawals and deletion of the website and social accounts.
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
