Radix received a [[GAC]] Early Warning as an entire applicant, where each one of the applicants was flagged by the U.S. Government.

Previous Applicants
Radix
Radix received a GAC Early Warning as an entire applicant, where each one of the applicants was flagged by the U.S. Government. This seems to be the only time a portfolio applicant had all of their applications warned. The issue does not deal with the technical capabilities or thematic content of their applications, but rather the inclusion of an email address associated with the US' Federal Bureau of Investigation. It seems that Radix included correspondence with this address as a recommendation with each of their applications.[4]
Auction
It was announced on 19 Dec 2013 that Donuts won in a private auction against Radix the right to .loans. Donuts is now the sole remaining applicant and Radix will receive a pay-off from Donuts in return for withdrawing their application. The auction was administered by Applicant Auction.[5]
