Didn’t Homejoy Shut Down?

Digging into trademarks, incorporations and S-1's is a weird little obsession of mine..

That said, my initial findings are that Flymaids is directly related to Homejoy. Under Privacy link of Flymaids it states "In the European Union, we are Fly Maids Europe Limited, a company incorporated in England and Wales (registration number 8883585) with its registered office address at 14 Whittonditch Road, Ramsbury, Marlborough, Wiltshire, United Kingdom, SN8 2PY."

If you lookup the registration number at Wales Companies House, it shows owner as "HOMEJOY EUROPE LIMITED"

FWIW, they changed their registered address on 8/7/15, ten days short of their announcing to cease operations: http://bit.ly/1kbHtyJ

That's the head office of Nortons accountants, who I'd imagine are handling the liquidation. Changing the registered address is normal. http://www.nortonsgroup.com/uk/global-offices

The liquidators have the power to dispose of the assets as they wish, in an attempt to return as much money to creditors (and the taxman) as possible. It's entirely possible that they've decided to try and keep some parts of the company active and have outsourced the dev work to a shady 3rd party. Alternatively they might be moving the sellable assets into a separate company which can itself be sold soon/later. Odds are that the founders weren't behind this move.

Are you insinuating that someone other than Aaron Cheung sent the email from the top of the post? That seems... strange.
