It appears transfers are initiated manually by a single individual: see the pattern in transfers stopping for several hours (sleeping) every day or so

No, but all the last transactions failed:

If you look at the individual transactions, the transfer fee they were using are like $1.50, $0.50 etc. Maybe this is the reason? If you look at other transactions on the Ethereum blockchain, all successful transactions are using like $3 or more transaction fee.

They shouldn't be so stingy. Lowest amount to buy was $75 anyway. I would happily buy $5 for fee and get this subtracted from my coins, which was a lot more, if this would improve speed.

Another note: I was wrong earlier with the trading. If you look at the contract source code:

https://etherscan.io/address/0x80a7e048f37a50500351c204cb407766fa3bae7f#code

you can see that there is a flag "transferAllowed". Currently this is false (see "Read Smart Contract") and can be changed only by the owner of the contract. This flag is used as a condition for the "transfer" function. So they control when we can start transferring (and thus trading) our coins. The only way to trade it would be to sell your whole Ethereum private key, but this might be a bad idea, because then the seller could still transfer it, if he is faster after "transferAllowed" is set to true Grin

Honestly, I have no idea what to think after I see following message upon trying to reach MEW:
"404 - File or directory not found."
