Why is Agora still up?

So the fact that agora is still up and people are able to withdraw what funds they can reportedly says one of several things.

1 Agora sketched the fuck out and the site is just going to sit there until his hosting is up.

2 LE have indeed seized the server are currently dropping java bombs or any other exploit they can to everyone vulnerable that visits and tracing all coin being withdrawn or withdraw addresses for larger amounts ie: vendors/bulk buyers. Maybe a reason for explicitly stating not to use an expiring address such as a tumbler.

This I wouldn't put past them. Disabling the buying/selling function of the site but keeping it up accomplishes the same thing as their big ol seized banner while still allowing them to net everyone vulnerable who visits the site.

They have to assume by now that just putting up their banner isn't going to stop anyone from moving to another market so another tactic is in order in line with mass metadata gathering that goes on already, just a big ol fucking dragnet.

3 Now that the site has very little traffic Agora is using this lull in activity to diagnose, look at, or otherwise figure out what they were seeing that was "funny"

4 And possible although at this point unlikely since there has been no public statement, they are taking this time to sort out the missing coin mess.

Discuss and speculate you homersexuals.

I would hope no one would withdraw directly to their wallet without putting it in a different one first..... Directly into a wallet I control marked as "unsafe/sketch", then to a tumbler, then to my personal wallets. Large amounts go into paper wallets..

I betcha they just forgot to move their bitcoin client over when they moved servers again, silly ol drug lords. By the time they realized "Oh fuck we left the stove on" everyone hit withdraw and shit went shitty.
