However, people at Zombaio know perfectly that reputation is EVERYTHING in their business, especially now.

If it really was such a trivial technical problem, it's hard to believe that they could not find a way to solve it better and avoid ruining their reputation and business.

Still giving them the benefit of the doubt on the weird "technical problem", in the real world such things tend to happen because of (A) or (B):

(A) a sudden and severe cashflow problem
OR
(B) someone wants to run away with the money

I do NOT think, honestly, it's (B). From an external perspective, it looks like Zombaio was/is growing, so not the best time to run away with the treasure.

If it is (A), cashflow issues, then one would guess that something very specific and unexpected has happened.

Naturally, it's speculation: still, if they are sitting on a pile of cash and it is really JUST a trivial technical problem, they have/had obvious ways to dispel the rumors, and it would be strongly in their interest to do so. Now - not 1,2 or 7 day later.
Spot fuckin' on... If it's not A. or B. then they need to be a whole hell of a lot more transparent and give us real answers... Or do they really think that we're to just take their word for it when they tell us our funds are safe? How many times over the years have people been burned, all the way to hell and back, because they trusted people who gave the very same assurances?

The fact that Zombaio doesn't seem to realize this makes me fear for the worst. They are a great processing company and their support has always been top notch (though I'd like to see 24/7 live chat like ccbill has) but when it comes to our money, we are going to expect specific answers to our questions; and when those answers aren't given, we are going to react. This is what the history in this business has taught us to do.
