This is despicable. What specific service was this? So I know how to avoid it if it should resurface.
Not only does it say that in the first paragraph, it says it here
Why in the world would you do this in the US?
I mean we're dumb kids until they raid us.
There are resellers in the US who will set you up with the infrastructure to do it yourself. You don't need much and it's less expensive than you'd think, almost turnkey.
Demand is more than high enough in poor areas too, they probably made a really good return before it shut down.
Part of the sentence was to forfeit $1million in profits, I'd say they did pretty well for themselves.
I'm pretty sure the similar exists in other places too. You could host it in AWS in China or Bahrain and save yourself a bunch of risk.
