It announced the suspension of operations and would not commit to resuming them.
"This will probably come as a big shock to many," said CEO Ray Youssef. "While I cannot share the full story now, I can say that we unfortunately have had some key staff departures."
Youssef made it a point to tweet out that he won’t withdraw his Bitcoin until all users on Paxful do.
We'll believe it when we see it. Whether all customers are able to retrieve their crypto remains to be seen.
