I don't trust those new owners,I won't be suprised if it turns out they are the feds.It has happened before though in this case things were a little darker.
Anytime a tracker goes away, and then comes back...everyone's paranoia, oh shit, the feds are probably in control of the site...I remember the same thing was said about torrentit back in the day...
It's all very confusing... They have been bought out but with barely any/very ambiguous references to what they're going to do with the site. I have heard a couple things, such as they're going to put it on the NASDAQ/establish a P2L service, with more share = cheaper fee.
