Unfortunately, the worst is happened. Hashflare completely terminated all active BTC mining contracts. So-called reason is mining payout is lower than maintenance fee.
Here you can find statement from their Facebook page:
Is it legal or not, lawyers may decide. Will be any international investigation or case? we will see later.
Even, if it is "legal", in terms of investment, it became a ponzi scheme.
The question is: Why not suspended contracts? Why terminate?
I wish, Hashflare and its parent company HashCoins will realize their mistake and compensate their clients loss.
