I thought for sure somebody would have noticed this, but I can't find any mention of it on the forum:

https://dbf.georgia.gov/press-releases/2019-03-19/department-enters-consent-order-tristan-d%E2%80%99agosta-julie-kim-and-michael

Tristan D'agosta, Julie Kim and Michael Demopoulos entered into a plea bargain with the Department of Banking and Finance in Georgia for running an unlicensed money transmitter business (i.e. Poloniex).

Just received this from polo:

"We are writing to inform you that Poloniex is spinning out from Circle into a new company called Polo Digital Assets, Ltd. This new company will have the full backing of a major Asian investment group, who intends to focus on the needs of global crypto traders.

Unfortunately, the Poloniex spin out will not include US customers, so Circle is winding down access to the Poloniex exchange for you and other US customers. Here is the wind down schedule:

October 18, 2019, US persons will no longer be able to create, or complete the set-up, of a new Poloniex account.

November 1, 2019, you will no longer be able to execute trades and should no longer deposit assets.

You will be able to access and withdraw your cryptocurrencies, through Circle until at least December 15, 2019.

The full announcement can be found here and our Customer Support Team is available to answer any questions you may have. Simply reply to this message and we will get back to you.

Team Poloniex"

So, that's it for Polo I suppose.
