Warning - Zeek in receivership

Firstly, apologies - I can't find the forum that jumps out as being the most appropriate for this... MODS - by all means please find a better home if there is one but a warning of some sort
BUT - Martin has championed Zeek on a number of occasions and I think this is important. I'm not stating professional opinion here, this is just what I know for certain to be true:
1) Zeek have fallen well behind in paying people who have sold vouchers though the site/app
2) Zeek have sent two emails promising payments and blaming issues with the bank. One implied the problem had been overcome and payments had been sent - this was not true.
3) Zeek have stopped responding to emails
4) This article, and others that led up to it, suggest that Zeek's Israeli HQ is in, or is going in to receivership, owing a lot of money (a lot more than they can pay.)

5) I am owed money that should have been paid two weeks ago. I am in contact with other sellers who have also not been paid and are not getting replies to emails.
I'm not going to say for certainty that they're bust, or that they're knowingly trading while insolvent but I will say that I think anyone selling anything would be insane and I urge anyone thinking of doing so to think twice.
If you have credit (payouts from Quidco for example, or from selling on the App) then I'd urge using it right away.
If you have vouchers in your 'wallet' then copy the details somewhere safe in case the App stops working without warning.
If anyone is affected by this and either wants to know more or has more to share, please post or PM me.

Is this why Swagbucks have removed them from the "redeem" area?
I currently have £40 balance on zeekshop.com
I also have requewsted another 3 x £10 vouchers from Swag bucks which i was expecting tomorrow!
NOW i'm starting to wish i had spent them! I hope the company is okay - cant believe it!0 -
I contacted Quidco but they acknowledged my email and have thus far failed to remove them... It looks bad, for sure...0

I tried with just zeek credit and with credit and PayPal and rejected both times0

What are your thoughts guys - do you think weve lost our zeek balance?0

Sad to hear this as I have over £200 in my account! I loaded this through credit card, can I possibly claw it back via that?!0

I have over £200 in my Zeek Shop account. Loaded through Paypal, that loaded from a debit card (Natwest). Can I claim it back via Paypal or Natwest?
I've emailed Zeek but no response0
