Published data about the liquidity of the site showed me that <...>

Can you provide a link to where you got this data?

If I'm not wrong, then he was referring to two old posts. One of those were pointed out by me (on June, 2024). Freebitco team had worth $114 million assets (in different crypto) on their FUN token wallet address. Freebitco had converted the BTC into ETH of that address in the same month. It was pointed out by another forum members (check here). Then we had noticed that Freebitco team was taking out the funds from their wallet address. Now it has worth $10 million assets, which is mainly in FUN token.

Yes, I am pretty sure I am the user y'all are referring to.

Before this whole kerfuffle, I used to collect the data that was provided to us in the STATS page of the website, which used to report the total of the user savings (could have been completely fake, but it was something) which was around 1100BTC and growing with my last reading on 22-Sep-2023. Instead too estimate the number of active users the method is to literally look at number of users that participate in the weekly lottery (you can find the .zip file on the twitter feed of Freebitco.in).

Right now there seem to be around 297k users down from 397k in May-24.

Wow, now that I check the numbers freebitco.in really has lost a lot of users in a few months. I can't fathom that they are letting the site going downhill this much unless something big happened (maybe even something physical happened to wetsuit).

I was actually a bit more positive about freebitco.in lately given that another user pointed out that the WOF only restarted once the FUN price was high enough:

[...]
As I pointed out a month ago, it is not broken, it is deliberately taken offline every time the price of FUN drops too low.

This makes sense and if this were the case, and they came out and said so, I'd actually trust freebitco.in MORE since it shows that they are doing things deliberately and not fucking up for months on end... Are they too deep in the lies now? I'd honestly give them a second chance if they come out and say that FUN and WOF was a complete failure and that they were removing the whole premium system.

I sort of remember TheQuin making a similar point about lowering the WOF rewards further since when the WOF came out the winnings were fixed at 50sats IIRC! But they soon corrected their mistake.
