Notes and record state

Record note
Terminal handling uses the 2014-11-15 maintenance / withdrawal-deadline marker from public exchange references. Death reason is kept as unknown because the current evidence shows operator-announced suspension / maintenance but does not establish a clean permanent-closure cause such as insolvency, hack, enforcement, or acquisition. Country/origin remains Unknown because the current evidence set does not establish an operating jurisdiction.
Revision state
