If your priority is returning the remaining investors' money to the investors, why would you keep the lights on?

I'm wondering specifically about keeping the servers on. Server costs are much less than the cost of "keeping the lights on".
I agree, even shutting down compute/cost-intensive features (i.e. the actual functionality) and leaving the login screen open might prevent a few people from losing work.

Then again, if the code is mirrored on github/bitbucket/whatever, then the risk of data loss is minimal and the product is actually all functionality.

It depends on the product. CI is very compute intensive (and may be bandwidth intensive, depending on setup).
