I would be inclined to believe it wasn't something very deliberate if it was only one or a few services getting shut down, but everything is fully removed. Even his [blog](https://statisticalideas.blogspot.com https://statisticalideas.blogspot.com) has a "this has been removed" header. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if there's more to this story than what's come out so far. I think it's worth following.

And due to that removal, NYT articles like this one now have broken links to his blog: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/19/business/the-stock-market-has-been-magical-it-cant-last.html https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/19/business/the-stock-market...

There's no such thing as a partial account removal. It's like your LDAP or AD account: you disable it and all services stop working, without having to worry about how each of them does access control on the front end as well as the back end. The latter can be the tricky and non obvious part.
