I know Freebitco.in still has good amount of money to operate the business. But they do not have a good intention to run it smoothly. Otherwise, they would provide good support to their customers.
If they still have a good amount of money, then what's stopping them from holding a drawing for round 11 of the Lambo lottery? In my opinion, this shows that they have some financial problems since they have been stalling for so long and don't want to hold a fair lambo draw.
It's very strange that the team of the project that had an impeccable 10-year reputation suddenly stopped having good intentions.
I'm not going to go into too many details about this but I will chime in with a few thoughts about the situation:
1) I'm 99% sure the site changed owners in the past. I won't say when but also fairly certain I know exactly when and how it happened
2) I'm positive on this one: the current owners (whether the same or different from the past) do care, there's just something deeper that's been happening. I believe the other post that theorized the codebase is having issues and the people behind it don't know how to fix it or something
3) I'm almost positive that the issues are due to a microservice due to how things break and how they start working again (my own analysis)
I could be wrong on one of these, but I'm fairly sure these are all accurate based on my personal knowledge. It also doesn't mean that the site won't go down due to the second part of #2. It's sad to see where it's gotten now, that's for sure, and I hope that someone takes over that can manage things better.
But if the current owners really do care, that raises a ton of new questions about how they've been handling things. Why was CSFBC completely silent from last August until the beginning of March when there have constantly been issues in that time? Why are they insisting certain issues don't exist? Why, when asked directly if there are any plans to renew the site's domain, did CSFBC actively ignore the question? If the current owners care enough about their reputation to have someone run damage control on Bitcointalk, why don't they also care enough to put out a statement saying "we're not going to run away with your money on October 10" or "here's what actually happened to the other FBC spokespeople" or even just a simple apology for the past several months of nonsense? If there are codebase issues they can't fix, why haven't they put a hiring page up to try and find someone who can? If the site did change hands and the current owners really do care, why didn't CSFBC tell the truth about it? What are they trying to hide? If the owners actually care, then this set of circumstances indicates a truly appalling amount of incompetence from everyone involved, and I honestly don't think that's the case.
