The result was delete. I find User:Daask's arguments particularly unpersuasive. He says, I can't find an independent source describing their work at all, yet wants to keep the article. That is clearly in contradiction to WP:V and WP:N. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:24, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable corporation per WP:NCORP. Only event includes an incident of alleged securities fraud which does not qualify a standalone article for a corporation. Gotitbro (talk) 15:55, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete None of the references meet the criteria for establishing notability. Although it is quoted on Nasdaq, I also cannot find any analyst reports discussing this company in depth. On that basis, topic fails GNG and WP:NCORP. HighKing⁺⁺ 17:31, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I see no indication that this company is notable for what it does. In fact, I can't find an independent source describing their work at all. However, there is ongoing coverage of this company for its stock value, criminal investigations, and as an exemplar of bitcoin investment bubbles. I expect it will be discussed in historical works on that last point, although that's WP:CRYSTALBALL. You can decide whether this rationale is compelling.
