Boon was/is part of Wirecard, which blew up last month as major fraud came to light; see e.g. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/how-german-fintech-d... or just google for "Wirecard"

And later:

"Why is the boon.Program closing?

Due to the current situation, we've taken the difficult decision to close the boon.Program."

They could have just said "because reasons" and been equally informative. Why bother including the text at all?

Boon is part of Wirecard and its pretty well known what happened there and why their companies might stop their service. Based on that, I assume they use wording like this to not affect the current investigations regarding the wirecard situation.

The end of Wirecard.
