I can't really say exactly what it was, but I would not leave a project I have spent over 9 months on over nothing. As for the free gift, you should probably inquire about them since I can no longer guarantee their delivery. In fact, I cannot guarantee any of the promises made to customers because I am no longer part of the organization.
Is it because you realized something was fishy?
Can you say anything on the free gift that subscribers were supposed to have recieved by now?
