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.
If you think what I’m saying is useless, that’s your opinion, but I’m here to share facts not here to argue with you and clarify the situation based on verifiable information. Ignoring these points won’t make the truth disappear.
Also, i want to highlight that the person behind the attacks and spreading false abuse reports-linked to
anir0y-scams.info has been using multiple alt accounts on Bitcointalk to spread misinformation and damage eXch reputations. It’s possible you might be one of those accounts, given the tone and your reply here.
ClientHold Does Not Always Mean Law Enforcement Action:While clientHold can be set due to legal requests, it’s also used for other reasons (e.g., payment issues, policy violations, or at the registrant’s request). Without direct evidence or a statement from the registrar, it’s hard to say definitively that it was law enforcement-driven.
