Reasons for Shutdown

Fraud

Founder exit scams and stole $300,000 from ICO Smart contract.

The founder and lead developer of Oyster Pearl (PRL), Bruno Block, had executed an exit scam and took advantage of a breach in the token smart contract.
The breach permitted him to reopen the ICO and sold an estimated of $300,000 worth of Oyster Pearl (PRL) on the KuCoin exchange.
After the Bruno exit scam, the price of PRL had dropped from $0.20 to $0.0035 per token to near zero.
Liquidity died and PRL was delisted.
