Thanks for doing this experiment for us! All this time I was confident that they are not accepting deposits and that made me think of them like of the honest people that are just having some problems. But now, if it's true that you can register and deposit, it means they are active scammers.
If they had any bit honesty then
1. They would not let new users register at all
2. The message regarding the service shutting down would have been in the home page
3. They would have communicated earlier on what was going on with the platfrom and the road map regarding refunding users.
