More Glitches in the ATS Matrix

[TSK]

The ATS rumormill says the buyer of the website has expatriated and is unlikely to return to the US any time soon. The company associated with the buyers has supposedly stated that the guy is AWAL. The rumormill also says the guy was a Bitcoin bro.

So, I'm thinking the guy had previously engaged in some illegal activity concerning Bitcoin like maybe not reporting earnings on taxes, which the IRS is now prodecuting. Maybe he got a letter in the mail from the IRS and decided to take his Bitcoin and go into hiding.

If he is running from the law it's doubtful he'll be touching that site any time soon. It would also explain the strange departures of his sysadmins and the weird blowout when all this started if say for example the owner went AWAL and the sysadmin was not paid, perhaps the admin decided to trash the site because he wasn't paid. It is known that the Darko character was recruiting shit-stirrers from Reddit. I think the shoe fits.

Owner probably has the site attached to an account with cash in it with the registration and hosting on auto-pay given that the renewal processed on the final day before expiration. I've used GoDaddy before and that is their typical renewal process.

So, I think something happened and the captain has abandoned the ship and left crew and passengers behind.

I've spoke to Darko. I just don't think he cares. I wish I had more reason than that, but it doesn't much sound like he gives a shit about ATS. I think what the owner of MPS fed me was all horseshit, and that Darko was never out of the country to begin with. MPS has a relationship with InfoWars, and a very lucrative one. Although I don't think Jones has anything to do with this. I think MPS bought it, realized it wasn't worth their time, sold it to his friend Darko who encouraged him to buy ATS in the first place, and it ended up being too much for Darko to handle. He has other business ventures, albeit unsuccessful ones, but it sounds like he's gearing up for a career change. That leaves ATS hanging in the balance, I'm afraid.
