Hi
It looks like after the arrest of it's founder, Arthur Budovsky, on suspicion of money laundering Liberty Reserve has been shut down.

The website - https://www.libertyreserve.com - now shows a blank page, DNS offline.
A number of other virtual currency exchanges were also taken offline:
asianagold.com, exchangezone.com, moneycentralmarket.com and swiftexchanger.com. All above domains now point to domains owned by Shadowserver, a non-profit that fights cybercrime.
Now the question will be what happens to the money that people had sitting in their accounts.
It's been hit and miss for years, and a high-risk money system to say the least, but it looks like this might be the nail in the coffin
