I think it's both the reason , some are afraid of what lightlords status now and what would be the future of the site and also many are taking profit as Bitcoin makes another ATH today , taking the 67,000 $ level and continues to grow now.
if there are someone who wanna make sure of profit surely those are the investors and holders .
also with the business status of Bitvest and 777coin , investors are looking for other site that would be appropriate and safer to invest .
Not much difference in the price factor of BTC do its definitely due to the lack of trust of the Lightlord obviously because if he didn't came back then its a huge blow for the investors so they are taking as soon as they can and its going to be very tough task to bring back the lost reputation, atleast now he has to act or those sites will be drowned.
What happened recently with how long he has been absent changed the way people look at this place. So far when the signature campaign was paid late people just hang in there. It is not your own money that you spend, and it is just money that you are hoping to earn and you just work for it. If you work and not get paid that is a very bad thing, I would be very upset as well but it is at least not your own money that is gone.
Plus, we all know that he is absent all the time and always late and has been for years now and then he shows up and pays 10 weeks all together with a big bonus and leaves for a long time again. The difference this time around was the fact that he didn't fill the hot wallet enough and people failed to withdraw from the casino, when you have something like that, it is not easy to expect everyone to be fine with it and that is why people are looking for other places nowadays.
