Another reason for the decision Bittrex could be the investigation published on Coinspeaker.
So, it turned out that the Singapore-based company, the Issuer ONERAID PTE. LTD missing in the official register of legal entities from the management of corporate regulatory (ACRA). However, several of the company names contain the word “Raid”: one sells alcoholic beverages, other clothing and accessories. Several registered prior to 2010 and seem to be inactive.
Notably, any information about the company in Google. Also her and the co-founders are not on LinkedIn and Facebook. Failed to be detected in social networks and the founder of the OP.GG Chan Woo Park, whose company, according to Forbes, has attracted 32 million active users in 30 countries.
On the website OP.GG says:
“OP.GG has completed all of the business discussions in respect of the draft RAID, there is no economic or technological cooperation with the coin RAID will not. We do not plan to develop blockchain-based solutions RIOT GAMES. We also intend to sue those who spread false facts about our company.”
While Twitter itself says that is irrelevant to RIOT GAMES, he has not.

Simultaneously, all the names of the co-founders Korean. The fact that the most likely non-existent Singaporean company had not hired any citizen of Singapore also seems strange.
In light of the opening facts, the decision to change the Ticker XRD on the RAID also looks suspicious. It was probably made in haste, as the Twitter account RaidOfficial already existed since may 2010.
