Based on the official statement from eXch (
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=577207.msg65286839#msg65286839)
The shutdown of the eXch was not executed by a domain registrar at the direct request of law enforcement, but rather was a voluntary closure by the exchange's own management in response to overwhelming legal and enforcement pressure from international authorities.
Furthermore, eXch emphasizes that it does not want to operate "
where we are viewed as criminals" and stresses its ideological commitment to privacy and decentralization, n
ot illicit activity.Note: There is no evidence in either the official statement or the news coverage that the domain registrar executed a takedown at the direct request of law enforcement.
What you're saying is completely useless, and I don't understand why you're responding. Yes, that's what they stated in their official statement, but I mentioned the status of their domain. They had no reason to take down one domain while leaving others online, especially their main domain. According to the status I provided, which you can see by looking up the WHOIS, the domain status is 'clientHold.' You can find out what that means on Google. Therefore, their domain was likely taken down by a third party, probably at the request of someone else. If that even matters anymore.
