Notes and record state
Record note
Independent exchange profiles identify a 2014 establishment year. Contemporaneous May 2015 reporting documented the founder's plan to close after repeated attacks, but the current official site and API remain accessible, so HEI records the announcement as a historical event rather than a terminal death marker.
