ScT closing down

Hey feeling, it was posted @ your own site.

Is this a joke or not ?

You seam worried defending yourself, from this attack, but no explanation whatsoever to the rest off us ? cmon be a man, and speak, instead off lurking on the forums like a kid.
 
Wanna say somethin , Screw SCT staff these greedy morans

why u think they made the promo donations ? hah ? I had a feeling that they are gonna close cause the promo was for buying another server , well , they did that before few months ago , so I had the feeling they wanna steal take somethin before they shut down .

The thought just came true .

Has the staff mentioned anything about an official statement or anything?

In the first few pages of this thread there are screenshots of the sites homepage announcing the closure... then a screenshot of a PM sent to members confirming the closure... but also a screenshot of an 'ScT V2.0' as well...

As far as I know there hasn't been any official announcement made by the ScT staff outwith what was said on the site, although there are some daft pastebin posts showing 'fake' convo's with peeps adding fuel to the fire about why they're closing.

I don't think anyone knows for definite what's happening yet... although it's fun speculating :P

So why did they discontinue using linuxhosted then?
Actually I think am mistaking,the moment this was revealed,there ceased to be a linuxhosted.ca and the owner disappeared as well.
Also if were to follow the rules of logic,you and I technically don't know what we are talking about so cheers to that(unless of course feeling has been filling you in on the side ;) ).

Mind asking him about dj?
 
Whether the whole donation thing is the case with ScT or not, the situation, as described by sez, would be much scarier than the RIAA or MPAA coming after you.

The situation described by sez, not saying its true or untrue, could put anyone having control of the money at extreme risk. "Tunneling" the money through another company, or more precisely, laundering the money is a big criminal offense throughout all of North America, as it's generally associated with organized crime or drug trafficking. Anybody with access to or even knowledge of how the money was laundered could be at risk. Money laundering and its associated offenses carry stiff penalties, including lengthy prison sentences.

If this is what caused the shut down, I wouldn't blame them. Those would be some pretty serious charges. Also, with money laundering, usually comes a whole whack of other charges.

Of course, this would all hinge on whether it was deemed that the money was coming from an "enterprise crime offense", otherwise, I think it's just tax evasion, if the money was unreported. However, with the current anti-piracy climate, I wouldn't put it past authorities to try and deem the operation of ScT an enterprise crime.

This actually raises some interesting legal questions that aren't generally related to piracy in regard to running a tracker that accepts donations.
