Nah, you can contact their support and have them issue a refund on the remaining funds while closing your account.

I did that last year when it became painfully obvious that andy yen was a blabbering fool, which he now have proven again by WINNING

Make sure you tell their support it is because of their high energy alpha ceo as well

Thanks, I've just emailed them there to see if I can get it cancelled and refunded from a month from now, just to have a few weeks to migrate. Now it's just a case of looking for alternatives which'll be a pain cause I naively put all my eggs in Proton's basket...
