actually every business may face side shows, they can have bad or good days but what ever happened it is the capacity of the owner and the team how to manage the recovery and response from other players specially when cases are filling up and the answer is badly in need.
i think now that lightlord mentioned being active again? pretty sure that all those doubts from players and investors in His sites will gone and trust will return as the more than 8 years of operation is long enough to prove their trustworthy .
There is no such thing as a sure and stable business what happens to Lightlord can happen to any casino, online casinos can learn from what Lightlord and his two casinos experienced sure they have people working from the main developer or admin of the project but there should be a co-admin or delegated group that can act to maintain the operation of the casino in case something happens to the administrator that will render him not able to issue instructions, but on the positive note, I'm sure there would be changes on how Lightlord and the team will run all their project online after what happens, they will try to regain the momentum and try to maintain their reputation.
