After speaking to someone in the know but who wouldn't divulge much, I am now convinced that Ukyo is being investigated along with others by the U.S. SEC and was forced to withhold people's funds and not talk about it until the investigation is complete. I further speculate that it is the same investigation into Satoshi Dice that is coming to light.
I dont see why a gag order would be needed in place then. A gag order normally only is used when a investigation runs and the culprit shouldnt be noticed about his steps being noticed. Thats not the case here since everyone knows something is fundamentally wrong.
So i think thats not the problem.
As I pointed out in the other thread ...
A gag order that has been stated publicly to have been broken ... from the start by informing that bunch of crooks who were hoping to make a profit out of this situation
... so sounds like a load of rubbish that such a gag order even exists.
