2. Sharecoin's main site - sharecoin.info - is gone as well. How do you account for that?
Maybe it's on the same hosting account with ShareXcoin... sharexcoin.zendesk.com is still live.
Not likely because the DNS records for sharecoin.info have been modified and is pointed to an ad-serving page. Unless the hacker had managed to gain access to his name.com account, there is no way to do that..
And here is the proof it was not done by a hacker -- sharexcoin.com trading site stills point to the DigitalOcean server, which means the administrator (ziplibrary) still has full control of his domain names account at name.com.
That's why I said it was likely an inside job.
Well, between busoni (Poloniex), DigitalOcean, name.com, it shouldn't take anyone more than couple hours to dig up zip's info and uncover his real identity.
Here's my conjecture -
Zip probably was hoping to dump qora and other altcoins at high price at Polo, and buy them back later at a much lower price, and he'll pocket the difference..
But his plan backfired, and he was not able to cover his short-sell trades.
I'm basing my theory on ShareXCoin's main account activities. This is the most logical explanation for what we see in my opinion.
