In the past week, millions of users, uncertain about Ofo's future, have also applied for a return of the deposits they had paid to use the platform, adding to the firm's financial woes.

“The whole of this year we've borne immense cash flow pressures. Returning deposits to users, paying debts to suppliers and keeping operations running,” Dai Wei said in the letter posted on social media by Ofo’s head of public relations.
“公司今年一整年都背负着巨大的现金流压力。退还用户押金、支付供应商的欠款、维持公司的运营，”
“It has meant turning every renminbi into three,” the CEO said, referring the China's currency. Dai added that he had thought “countless times” about ways to resolve the issues, “even of dissolving the company and applying for bankruptcy”.
