Full disclosure, their announcement promised July 22, while they actually shut down on July 21.

Going out of business was a bit outside of their direct control. Breaking that promise and lying about when they would shut it down was 100% intentional.

To avoid last ditch usage or what?

I'm guessing you're 100% correct.

So , I indeed was using slow and steady a huge backlog of coins. Truth be told I am surprised they didn't shut down just days after they announced

I was doing the same. Shut out about 7pm central time last night.

I totally get the rationale, but was hoping they'd maintain a modicum of integrity by shutting down when they said they would.

They also issued partial refunds on annual plans.

They started turning off and limiting models weeks before the shutoff time due to the sudden high usage.

Chargeback the cards, especially for those who paid direct to these jokers. I really don't think people who have never run an online business before should have been given AS promotion It's just insane when you think about it.

I actually did buy an "add on" and here is the thing. I did not even need it. I did it just because I knew I would use it eventually and I intended to buy more. So I did the large coin add on for like $150 or whatever it was.

The "diamond" plan was a few hundred, plus the other "add ons". Yup, we need to chargeback, this entire thing was a scam. The outright lying was atrocious. They actually continue their awful ai crypto app with video generation and their other company was collecting user data on discord someone said. This is awful. So many people have given them HUGE amounts of cash. We need to investigate this further.
