It is clear from the reported volume that there is not enough volume on the exchange to continue trading and cover expenses.
There wasn't enough volume because they froze so many coins and blocked withdrawals and deposits. Previously they had quite a nice volume from coins which were unique to them or strongly associated with them: ETN for example was top volume most of the time. But for volume, there must be deposits. Which were blocked. This simple fact undermines the rest of your theory of goodwill.
By the looks of things, the element of premeditation is pretty strong and there's sufficient arguments to point to an exit scam. Please contradict me: post the TX of the "hacked" funds. BTW, how much was actually "hacked"? No one outside of them knows. If it was a hack, which now, after all this, I don't believe it was.
And there's another aspect: all the wording so far points to voluntary liquidation. BUT you don't actually need liquidators to voluntary liquidate: you just end all contracts, cease activity
and return all assets of third parties. But you turn to liquidators when you don't have all the assets.
So after the haircut they still don't have all owed assets? How funny. Where is the rest, dudes?
Exit scam.
