Notes and record state

Record note
Modeled as dead / voluntary_shutdown. Sources report a dated wind-down rather than an exploit, insolvency proceeding, or enforcement shutdown. Confidence remains medium because current evidence set is mainly syndicated / mirrored reporting of the team announcement rather than a directly archived official page.
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
