I don't think the dev team could have done anything about it. It's not the only coin in this case. We're in the worst alt bear market in history, and I am in crypto since end 2013. No dev team would be dumb enough to make big announcements when everyone is depressed.
It's most probably something specific to SYNX and all the dozens of other coins delisted this past months that bittrex though to be incompatible with the US regulation crackdown.
Can't do anything about it.

The good news is that SYNX didn't dump by 50-80% like every other delisted coins did, so we're probably at the true bottom. If it could be listed on another new good exchange (beaxy for example, binance seem impossible TBH), then the coin will have a bright future.
