A few days ago we reported the arrest of the alleged owner KickassTorrents and closing the website. But apparently the file sharing website started working again under a new domain (as usual).
But is it the authentic website?
For the story: The US government arrested the owner of KickassTorrents, the largest torrent site in the world. The 30 Ukrainianman was arrested in Poland today and is accused of violating the copyright law and money laundering. In addition, a federal court in Chicago ordered the seizure of the many domains used by the KAT.

At the moment the page has no torrents.
TorrentFreak on the other says that KickassTorrents are still down but that the community of the famous website remains very active.

The next moment hundreds of clones appear to try to take advantage of the traffic on the closed page.

The strange thing about the story above is that The Verge, although a reliable website, claims to support them information of to an anonymous source, while TorrentFreak which is at the center of news from torrent sites does not mention anything about KAT.am.
TorrentFreak reports that none of the management team (mods) had access in the page's source code files. So if The Verge's story is true, some admin must have taken down KAT.am. But why didn't he invite the other members of the group who continue to be in the Katcr.co;
