There is so much speculations going on when we see rifts between the 2 companies, where one is claiming to be owned by other company and the parent company simply denies the claims and washing their hands off , which if proven turns out to be one of the biggest crypto scams ..
Moreover there is always a question mark on legitimacy of both exchanges ...
The big companies have a reputation to protect and may have mistakenly accepted the deal out of ignorance and lack of adequate awareness of the crime committed by the scam exchange before the acquisition, and since it falls under the agreement between the two parties to end the deal whenever and shady act is discovered of committed during the time of the partnership.
