freebitco.in has been on deaths door for more than a year now, it's a miracle they made it this far, and this time, it looks like they are done for good.
Theoretically, they can remain online for a long time in the way they operate now, although more and more angry users will appear who will raise more and more noise and report them to various agencies that deal with online fraud. If I remember correctly, their site has been blocked in Germany for some time, and it's only a matter of time before it spreads to other countries within the EU.
It will be interesting to see if at some point there will be an investigation and court orders that will lead to the discovery of the identities of those behind it all - which means that this forum could also be a place for investigation, given that the owner has been active on this forum for a long time.
