2. they are lying through their teeth, and mods aren't doing any 'support' work at all (vastly different jobs, moderating a chat doesn't equal sorting out verification problems, transaction problems, withdrawal problems, as were filling up the trollbox due to desperate people jumping in there to try and get some replies or timeframes on weeks old tickets)
Sounds like Cryptsy in their last days. Some of the mods were able to cancel withdraw requests but apart from that all they did was spout the Party Line, and if anyone got a little too agitated about their funds, they were banned from chat.

I wonder how many of those 'staff' knew exactly what was going on. [For those not in the know, it is alleged that the Cryptsy admin stole millions of dollars worth of Bitcoin and fled to China. The company was insolvent even when they were promising things would get better Real Soon Now.]
