Hey guys, how about we stop all the hating and insulting in this thread already?
Ethan is a nice guy, he has been very reliable and trustworthy, and he still is.  He's just doing his best dealing with the extreme circumstances beyond his control.  If he wanted to rip you off or anything, he would already do so long ago.  Your panicking, hating and insulting don't contribute anything positive to the situation.  So please be patient and STFU, would you?  KTHX

The only question that really bothers me is why indeed not sell the website to someone trustworthy living in more some of the less regulated countries?  I'm sure there are enough potential buyers to choose from.
