/snip/ and suddenly, the owner disappears with no statement of any kind, or putting another in charge to continue to maintain the thread, I feel that such casino could be a timed bomb waiting to explode.
Why would you assume he disappeared? Just because he's not active on bitcointalk? The customer service is responding, and I don't imagine a small site would hire any staff to answer customer service queries, so it's likely LL is responding himself.
When an important figure on this forum stops posting on this forum, without any word or explanation, or even a message to customers as a business owner who started off on this forum, it is indifferent to say that such a person disappeared, he clearly disappeared, and I do not agree that it could be LL replying to customer's enquiry, if he is the one, what stops him from atleast, saying a word on this thread?.
Admins being active here do not make your funds any safer. Unless you're concerned that LL might be dead and the access to the cold wallet is lost forever - but that's a pretty wild conclusion based only on a fact that he's not posting here anymore.
I agree with you that Admin being active does not make funds any safer, true that indeed, but then, your further comment is also a testament and very possible, which is why I said bitvest is like a timed bomb waiting to explode.
