This is really bad news. The service was working really good so far (using it for txt4coins.net). I hope someone will buy and continue soon.
Don't worry too much. I wouldn't be surprised if this is merely a publicity stunt. Unless they receive some largely profitable offer, I imagine they will "sell" it back to themselves aka a "private bidder" and settle for the free exposure.
That's my conspiracy theory for the night. Tune in tomorrow same Bat-time, same Bat-channel!
