Notes and record state

Record note
FINMA's warning-list entry dated 2021-04-28 names Exrates / Exrates Exchange, links exrates.me, gives a Swiss address, and states that the entity was not entered in the commercial register. This is modeled as a regulatory-action event, not as proof that regulation caused the exchange's eventual inactivity. Cryptowisser currently flags Exrates inactive and records that the website returned a 404 by 2022-12-02 and that the project's last tweet was at the start of 2022. User complaints and community allegations about withdrawals exist, but HEI does not convert those claims into scam_rug or a precise shutdown date. Available sources give inconsistent geographic descriptions, so country_or_origin remains Global rather than guessed.
