I hope this is not a fatal blow. Lot's of coins in maintenance for far too long indeed.
It may sound harsh, and I obviously don't want anyone to lose money, but this being a fatal blow to that exchange means it can no longer harm new users.
It was only a matter of time before they either would shut down and take a run with people's money, have the crap be hacked out of them, or that regulators would shut them down by force. Having to worry about one of these aspects is already a reason to not use them, having to worry about three of them is just asking for problems.
It's one of the shittiest exchanges in the space. What do people seriously expect?
