They mixed Pecunix so I doubt Pecunix killed them off :P. They did not turn scam just stopped operations for whatever reason. Seems these days everyone uses Bitcoin instead of Pecunix so that might have something to do with it.

thanks for the insight. i was just wondering whether they just went deep and dark, and invite only on TOR..
thanks to your reputation for knowledge and longevity - i have no doubt that you are correct.

since i am in the process of trying to marshal resources towards pseudo-decentralised p2p aux "banking" services that would be of use ot people like myself. hence the research into ecache, and ITEX
so far it looks like the smartest peeople alreayd have thought long about it.
