I am inclined to agree with Fivestar4everMVP that most of the features of the freebitcoin site are running in automatic mode. Obviously, something happened behind the scenes with the freebitcoin team, but even if there is a new owner, don't you find it strange that they don't say anything to the community? At least they could have published an announcement and explained the whole situation. In this case, the community would have fewer questions and speculations.
Once upon a time, someone joked that that
honesty is expensive and that is why you can't expect it from cheap people.
