$3.5 million write-down in Q4. Any idea what that was for? Could they be having trouble collecting players' losses via credit cards? From what I know of gambling law, a gambling debt may not be recoverable in court. Also, from looking at the recent financial highlights, the growth of revenue has slowed as follows:

1st Qtr 2nd Qtr 3rd Qtr 4th Qtr
Revenue $1.74M $3.58M $5.92M $6.61M
Qtr to Qtr growth 105% 65% 11.7%

I bought Cryp at $18 last August and sold it when the latest financial results were finally released. I wouldn't mind a good reason to get back in - what budding industry could have the potential of "Internet + gambling"? But I was disappointed to see that growth had slowed so much. I'd still take 10% per quarter any day but if we're seeing a trend, will the growth this quarter be flat or negative?
