Title: Bitinstant I WAS ROBBED Post by: anthonykash on February 16, 2013, 10:32:18 PM Bitinstant is by far the worst company to do business with these days. They used to be a solid place to purchase bitcoins from, but if something goes wrong forget about it. I didn't receive my coins right away like I usually do and contacted them via email. The guy Seth looked up my 9 digit account number and said i was all set and I'd receive my coins within 24 hours. It's been 24 hours and I email him back and he tells me he said 1 business day. He did not say 1 business day, he said within 24 hours. I've ordered on the weekends before without a problem. This is bullshit that we get no help or support when something goes wrong. The company is based over in Buffalo and I swear I'll file criminal charges if I don't get my money. I won't be robbed for even 1$ out of principle. I'm not sure what has happened with this company, not sure at all and it's to bad to.

Title: Re: Bitinstant I WAS ROBBED Post by: DannyHamilton on February 17, 2013, 01:06:14 AM You were not robbed. Please stop being so melodramatic.
Also note, that there has not yet been a single confirmed case of BitInstant failing to pay the bitcoin to the specified bitcoin address. There have however been many confirmed cases of newbies showing up with less than 4 posts and overreacting, claiming "I was robbed!". Then later it is confirmed that they have received their bitcoin. If you want to say, "BitInstant takes longer than I expected!", or "I'm impatient and BitInstant is too Slow!", or "BitInstant, I want it now!" then your complaint would be accurate, but threatening criminal charges and claiming you were robbed is just silly. Everytime I see one of these newbie "I was robbed" posts, I think of this scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpGJbooFq1c Title: Re: Bitinstant I WAS ROBBED Post by: navaman on February 17, 2013, 02:36:47 AM You were not robbed.
