As an old platform, BitKong had some brand value. Maybe they have messed it up within last few years. The lack of transparency and mismanagement of KONG token system have made their decision questionable. They have shown the excuse of ownership transition to make their decision a bit less questionable at the initial stage. But now it is pretty clear that BitKong isn't coming back.
Completely agree with your statement: it's a pity they wasted their brand value away by mismanaging their business. Do not this they will be back again and also if they will come back, regardless of who the eventual owner (new or old one) should be their reputation is gone for good also due to the lack of transparency and communication.
