Default Paradise going down the drain?

Looking at pokersitescout, I see that Paradise Poker seems to be the one of the the bigger sites having most problems with the gambling bill.
Their playerbase is steadily dropping, it is already under 500. So it looks like not long before they'll be gone from the market.
Am I missing something important?

The majority of Paradise traffic was from the US... Paradise initially cut off US players from depositing, and just this week finally stopped all real money play from US players... this is why traffic steadily dropped off into this week.

Serves them right for being pussies and folding to the US govt. Why couldn't they have "sold" Paradise like they did with their sportsbooks?

Paradise should be a case study in business school on how a company can go from #1 in the industry to out of business in a few short years by not listening to their customers, and not keeping up with their industy and technology.

Bye-Bye
