Title: Acrimonious Escrow bankruptcy
Post by: whistle11 on January 05, 2013, 05:22:32 PM
Hi all,

Apparently the "Acrimonious Escrow" is in bankruptcy since mid-December and unpaid reimbursements for canceled transactions. Anyone have more information about this?  :o

Greetings!

No idea about that. It's an onion site, so folding shop and running would be the regular alternative.

Cryptographic escrow is now possible, where the escrow agent never gets access to the funds, and where the escrow agent can disappear without the original parties losing access to their money unless they stalemate.  The community should start to demand cryptographic escrow services and forget about giving third parties access to their money.
