Kagi was 22 years in business and they write this:

> We are sorry we failed you.

Kagi, you did not fail. You provide an essential service for what was then called Shareware when it was really hard to do online payment processing.

I think perhaps that getting defrauded so much money that it sent them bankrupt must feel a bit like failure to them

I used Kagi as a customer (never a vendor) many times in the late 90s and early 2000s and have a lot of appreciation for what they brought to the Mac shareware scene. But I would consider it a failure to shut down an established business with what seems to be absolutely no notice (see other comments here and on Twitter).
