Love how Bitcoin is such a den of thieves, scammers and con artists that we can't even keep it at one incident per week anymore.
This past week also:

Dear clients,
Delta Financial will be ceasing its current services, including its interest account and trading products, as of January 30, 2015. Funds held in interest accounts will stop accumulating interest effective immediately.
We encourage users to log in and submit withdrawal requests for their BTC as soon as practicable. We will use our reasonable best efforts to make sure all client BTC is returned, even after we cease our current services. Effectively immediately, our trading engine will only allow you to purchase BTC, not sell. For users with USD balances over $1,000, you may request a withdrawal via wire by emailing support@deltafinancial.com.
To be clear, all user funds on our system are properly accounted for, and this closure is not the result of any security-related issues. Simply put, the financial products we wanted to build on the Bitcoin platform simply require a bigger trading volume than that what exists today.
We remain believers in the long-term potential of Bitcoin. We greatly appreciate the support from the Bitcoin community over the past year, and look forward to watching and supporting the continued growth of the Bitcoin ecosystem.
Please contact us at support@deltafinancial.com if you have any questions.

However, I haven't found any public news or announcements anywhere else. It may be a hoax.
It's on the front page of their website:
