Why everyone is just guessing and no one tells the full story?

Thousands of Stake players in chat saw publicly, how poorbot freaked out after rumors about tips being removed, and ripped whole his balance in rage bets. Thousands of dollars were just gambled away, without even waiting for an official announcement from Stake. And then owner simply disappeared, without even a word here or anywhere, while users kept sending tips to him.

Damn, that's a tough story.
I also read it in the chat but I actually didn't even know about poorbot, just used the other one in the past.
It's such a strange behaviour over news that haven't even been set in place yet. And yeah, as we all know now stake made a u-turn to not ban tipping.
But why would they rage bet the funds away when they could just withdraw them, doesn't make any sense.

Well, even right from the beginning of this whole stake banning Tipping, and poorbot immediately announcing that they will be closing their exchange services even when an official statement hasn't been released by stake management yet, I wouldnt say that I knew something was phishy, but I really felt that poorbot's decision to quit their exchange service as a result of the speculated or rumored ban was too hasty, even their competitor (dinobot - sorry if I get the spelling wrong) didn't panic, but continued to provide their service after the rumor.

And should I say that poorbot have possibly or initially had plans to quit offering their exchange services, but were just looking for a good opportunity and something to use as an excuse? Very possible if am asked.

And as for those who kept sending tips even after poorbot have announced here and on their site that they are closing their services, I honestly fault and blame them for not being current to informations regarding a service they are using, if poorbot hadn't announced closing down their exchange service, this would have been a separate issue altogether.
