In the post the company said:
Dear users, we are going through some processes and themes of normativity in order to be able to continue operating within the law.
In the next few days we will generate a statement by extending this information.
Please ask for the withdrawal of their funds through an email [email protected] or by means of a support ticket at the withdrawals will be processed immediately.
