A quick update , today we have receive some new hdd , verry difficult to find them locally unfortunately due of minining , so this next weekend we will start to reprovide the services in paralel with the data recovery from the old storages (where is possible) , like i have told before we will have 2 options , 1 ask for refund , 2 stay like client and ask for 1 year of free service.
Then several days later (8 June) posts an ad to sell said HDDs. Wowzers
I'd assume he 'sold' parts of the business that actually bring in money a while back already and relocated these to another DC (remember the tunneling blabla)
maybe he even used that to restructure the IP things already in preparation for an exit of the storage stuff that nobody would want to take over.
give it another few weeks and some other business will suddenly appear to the rescue. but only for whats left and that's gonna be the nvme/ryzen stuff that might be profitable in the end.

HS is selling everything regarding his storage line, IP, servers, disks…..
And keeping the new nvme line.
For now….
Oh, and no information to the current customers.
That appears to be the case, yes.
IP block has been successfully sold. Multitude of servers and some SAS disks are currently up for sale. Storage drives (the 12TB ones) have a delisted ad up, possibly because they've all been sold, he got found out and backtracked, or some other reason. Drives were posted for sale after he said he was in the process of acquiring new drives to replace the failed ones.
Nvme line has been online throughout all this nonsense, with a sale email sent out as well to advertise the product line.
No emails have been sent to affected customers to date (I would know as I am one) related to the issue. Only update has been through the backdated whmcs announcement. No tickets or emails related to compensation (extra service time or refunds) for this as well.

I'm not sure, I don't really take cociu too literally - we're talking about a man who speaks his own made up language lol.
I respect you, so the best I can do is to speculate also. First, I'd have to assume that 3000 IPs not being announced is a fact, which means it's unlikely that he meant he has 3000 services if each uses 1 IP. Maybe he has 3000 services that includes active AND cancelled? Perhaps he means he has 3000 or so customers in his WHMCS? Maybe he flat out made up the number of customers he has? He wouldn't be the first business to do something like that lol.

He did plenty wrong..
He first fucked up by allowing his drives to become involucrated in the first place, but that could be forgiven.
He then fucked up by not communicating frequently enough.
He proceeded to then fuck up further by back dating an announcement.
His biggest mistake is that he fucked up MASSIVELY by hoping for some compassion and empathy from the community.

You see, that's where my issue is sir. Lying and deceiving. The Lack of transparency.
Selling live IP and hardware, without communicating with the customers. Being able to send sales email, but not sending issue email. Silently deleting customers tickets. False promises.
Very very anti consumer.

I see those all as issues too, but probably from a different perspective. The IP thing I don't understand from a customer perspective, I assume since the servers were down that they weren't accessible anyway so the IP ownership transfer would not have impacted me. I will always agree that his communication is shit, that's cociu's USP. The sales email for the Ryzen was definitely a shock, and for me as his customer I thought it was strange but not untoward as such. Not sending issue emails falls under his shitty communication. The tickets being deleted sounds horrible but we both know how some people love creating tickets for the sake of it and cociu has made it clear in the past that he doesn't handle tickets well. False promises I agree on too, not cool.
His biggest mistake is that he fucked up MASSIVELY by hoping for some compassion and empathy from the community.
Community was extremely graceful, till he did the above things I just mentioned. Till that time, it was all "yeah, it is cociu, nothing new, yadayada"
I personally don't think the community was graceful at all, in fact, I believe that thread will serve as an excellent reference of everybody's character - and graceful is not the word I'd use to describe that display.
I seem to have a set of opinions that go against the grain of the majority of people when it comes to the cociu involucration. The main one is that I don't see him as a scammer and nor has he deadpooled. The second tangential opinion that it's unprofessional for a business to slander another business in public.

nah, you're missing out on all the drama.
it's like ping pong. obviously the moment cociu commented anything on that matter, the few still holding onto the idea of him getting it sorted will jump straight in and trying to manifest on that position.
I believe he got called up via phone and someone managed to get through to him with concerns about the public picture drawn with ip auction and hardware selling. and only that made him come back and comment, otherwise it would still be silent.
however he still does not show real efforts in correcting the image that got drawn by all speculations. I mean, seriously, where is the problem, to clarify on what system really have been used and where affected? maybe add some pictures?
his arguments and comments are very weak... at best. and if he does not manage to refund on monday? what's gonna happen then? the next 4 weeks of silence. yeah sure, will totally work out...
I'd side with @Lee here, saying that it just looks another attempt to buy more time for... whatever.
and if he really wants to stay in the market and only getting rid of the storage/cheapskates, hell, that could even work, considering that he's quite far away and nobody is going to sue him there. uniwebhosting did some shady stuff with reselling hetzner servers, didn't refund and lost their paypal and still where in the server market for quite some time after that whole shitshow.
so maybe it wasn't intentional from HS side? but that would make him simply a dumb person in regards to running a business. no desaster plan, no communication skills, far from any reliability. scam or dumb - pick one.
