They lost all the fees from wire tranfers coming in and then paying out to each affiliate account. Basically without a card for ppl to easily withdraw their money, there's no way to recover... It would take months to setup something else with a different bank and maybe Mastercard, and by then it would definately be dead. So he probably just decided to cut his losses.
