Track records for their profile don't have anything to do with track records for any particular theme. A typical response from a developer has been:

"Hi Bob,
It's simply a matter of low sales so we retired the theme. There's no known security issues with the theme, so not to worry."

That particular theme ran for 7 months before retirement, as he calls it. And he has other successful themes, so upon research, you would say he's credible. Is that a symptom of the platform? Perhaps. Envato shouldn't let a developer just "drop" a product. The product should be noted as being retired and then supported for another year, so those who were duped into purchasing it, have time to replace it. Otherwise, it's just a scam and Envato has become a breeding ground for scammers.
