Eccie has a big decision to make. They don't want to lose their 506,031 member clientele, that took 10 years to create. At the same time, they don't want to go to jail. I really don't think the FEDS are after the providers or the clients, they want the BIG fish. The owners/operators. When backpage was seized, they went after one or 2 guy's, the owners/operators. Craigslist shut down voluntarily after warnings and they went after no one. Craigslist shuts down its personals section only. Eros went dark for awhile and they went after no one there either.
There is no need to delete your account. They are not after us. They want the owners/operators. Eccie might be thinking: do we really need to shut down the entire site? or maybe just certain areas like showcases, etc... I am sure they are in meetings at this very moment, deciding which way to go on this. Once they lose a BIG clientele base, and people scatter, eccie will never get it back. It is estimated that Eccie is worth 500,000 per year. MANY MANY MANY ASPD members came here to get this site started.
