As everyone knows Agora was super nice and gave plenty of warning that they were shutting down for an unknown time. They returned vendor bonds and such making Agora look like the good guys (I'm aware some did lose out).
Now comes my theory... Since Agora was the largest market and shut down it caused a massive migration to the other markets. The Abraxas layout reminds me a lot of Agora... So what if the Agora admins are actually running another market(s) like Abraxas and are going to pull an exit scam with any market in a few weeks. Then 2 weeks after the exit scam the non Beta Agora pops up... Everyone migrates back to Agora and nobody suspects Agora did anything wrong and are still the good guys. Agora pulls off am exit scam without even looking like they did.
Plausible but basically unproveable unless they slip up somehow. I just used Abraxas as an example and am not singling them out... It could be any of the semi large markets.
Just a random theory I though of whilst skating around. Tin foil hat has been removed. They might have just wanted a month long tropical vacation.
