Posted on litecointalk. A lot of people are against this guy but I think he done the right thing. What do you think ? Website will not be shutted down directly, Chris has some time to respond. If Chris is working on the website and he's legit, he can reply and provide some informations, if not, website will most probably be shutted down. I am more and more convinced that he just moved the website through 2 servers to cover his traces (maybe he didn't use proxy/vpn on previous servers to cover his trace). At beginning, the website was hosted by godaddy, then website was moved to another company, and finally to ovh.
Its stupid to shut down the site so soon that guy is a dumbass and is probably a competitor. I would like to know how much he has invested in LTCgear I bet it is minimal to nothing. A month without payouts is long but from a business perspective say a business was not paying its bills you would not shut the business now in a month it would be at least two the three months before creditors would move to freeze accounts.I just sent the following email:

Now I am on record with my suspicions that LTCGear is a ponzi of some sort but cutting off the SINGLE point of contact and access to the operation is KneeJerk and stupid imo ... if anything we need to gather more information and scrape more of the site if it ever comes back.
