You failed to mention the possibility that they are lying about it being a technical problem and that they do not have all the funds they claim to (I.e. Solvency).
Don't be naive to think that this is not a possibility.
Ponzi operators work in the exact same manner. They try to buy more time with vague excuses.
So the proper way to run a ponzi scheme is to broadcast failed transactions for all the world to see? Thanks that is good to know. The brilliance of people here is staggering.
If it buys them time why not?
They just claim the issue is "technical" which is vague BS for saying we need more time.
