Their social media presence has been completely removed and their website hasn't been updated since 2021. It isn't the most Google-able name, but even still I couldn't find anything at all about it going bust or being shut down. There is no update on this page, which talks about it as though it is still active. If anyone has any sources on what happened there could you please edit that section?
