Now why do I have the feeling that there is going to be a annex to that statement in a few days? He'll probably figure something out that allows him to (be allowed to) keep the money raised.

It looks that they shut down primarily based on monetary reasons and not being able to raise a seed. Because they needed "proof of quite large user numbers and growth – something we couldn’t supply with our own money."
Like maddox said himself, he had never the intention of running a business, and that's okay, that's perfectly fine, but it's not a startup. I feel lately everything is labelled a startup, while a lot of things could be, it is just not the case as long as you don't treat it like one.
