They have a lot of those. Not impressed.

No.
As I said it all depends if you believe he's the real on or not.
If you do then you try to find a solution with him.
If you don't you release dox and file a case.

No use of insulting him, and asking this "piece of shit to repay what he owes".

But seriously does anyone believe he's going to repay everything?
Not a question of being hacked. Just that if he was not hacked, he scammed 10k$, he's not going to give it back. Especially when you know how difficult it is to accuse anyone with only digital proofs...
If he was hacked he's not responsible. Unless he has signed a due contract with all of you explaining he'll assure the funds again any criminal act he doesn't have to repay it. And as "good" as he can be, there is no way he's going to spend 10k$ of his own money just because he doesn't want "to disappoint people". Nobody does that. That's not being honnest, that's being stupid. People knew they also took a small risk by sending the funds to one person. If he was genuinely hacked then he's maybe stupid, but not totally responsible.

Yeah....I don't buy any of that shit. I didn't discount anything because of your signature. I said you were being needlessly abusive, which was true. You're doing absolutely nothing to help anyone. You're just being a drama queen. This has nothing to do with censorship (LOL)... that's laughable. This is a scam thread directed at him -- and you're here bitching like a little girl at everything he says. If you would actually like to see people paid, keep it constructive.

By the way, there is a distinction to be made between a signature campaign and the portion of participants that are blatant spammers.

Everyone seems to be using the word "repay" when it wasn't even me who took the funds. I'm voluntarily paying people out of my own pocket even though I'm technically not obligated to do so. But sue me if you need to. I'm done replying to this thread. I'll focus my attention on the other one where I will be sending payments to those repayment addresses listed in the OP.

You scammy little piece of shit asshole. I just found the flaw in your story in the blockchain and your posts. I will be revealing it all with verifiable links and screenshots shortly. You're a scammy little cunt and you need to repay ALL FUNDS IMMEDIATELY.

No one said it was his forum. It's a thread about him, in which he is trying to explain himself. You're just being needlessly abusive towards the only person that can make this right. You have no skin in this game. It's blatantly obvious to anyone here that you're just here to spam for signature payouts. Just fuck off already.

And no, this didn't turn the forum on its head. Frankly, it's a little bump in the road. You'd know that if you'd been here longer than a few months.

These fucking signature spammers.

Yeah, I've always been a dick to blatant signature spammers who post without anything valuable to add to the conversation. People like them ruin this community as much as scammers do. 95% of these boards are garbage nonconstructive spam while the other 5% of valuable content is burried deep under all of that bullshit.

I was never a part of the "big5".

I'll be adding blatant sig spammers to my ignore list so I don't have to spend as much time sifting through garbage posts while trying to resolve this. Starting with you.

Can someone show me where I can download Armory 0.93.3? I can only see 0.93.2 as the latest/stable on the Armory website.

Please stop entertaining the trolls and the sig spammers guys.

I'm verified here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1306301.msg13398178#msg13398178

I also sent verification of my identity to Blazed via PM. He can confirm it here if he wishes.

My wallet on my secondary PC is almost done syncing. After that I'm going to try and extract and restore the wallets safely on a secured machine and see if I can access the coins. If I can then great, I can return everyone's money. Even the ones that were already in escrow prior to the hack, since after this whole debacle I don't intend on continuing my service for those anymore.

If I can't access the funds anymore then I will work on getting people paid back over time. I definitely don't have enough liquidity to be able to pay back everyone's coins all at once but you have my word I will definitely work my ass off to get everyone their money back.

Let me add more to your BS here.  Your wonderful money banking system is backed by our government, a government who is trillions of dollars into debt and who owes China so much they could cause some major issues for us if they wanted to go that way.  Getting back to the money part of this all:  Lets say you deposit 1 million dollars into the bank savings.  lets say for example that this million dollars will purchase you 100,000 apples.  They give you 2.3% interest for your deposit.  They turn around and are ALLOWED to loan up to 10 million dollars out to the public based on your deposit.  For those loans they charge an average of 11% interest.  So they are making 1.1 Million dollars on your money.  What happens when they get into issues, our government bails them out, just like they did before, making the value of your dollar do down and the prices of goods go up.  So you still have your 1 Million dollars in the bank, but that million dollars will only be able to buy part of what it could buy before you deposited it.  Instead of that million dollars being able to buy you 100,000 apples, you can only now buy 70,000 apples because of price increases.  You have some ideas behind what you yap about, but you need to educate yourself before you support one thing over another.  

If you identify yourself (ID card etc.) coinbase is very easy and fast. I just linked my bank account and could transfer money and buy bitcoins very easily.

Thanks for all the advice guys.

I have savings and 450 bucks isn't too much to forget about I'm prepared to take the risk.

 I'm thinking it might be a good investment in say 5 - 10 years ?

Well he deleted all his messages Wonder why he had to do that 

I guess you're mad that I left you negative trust?

I can say nothing about this that will make you believe that Pips isn't me, so I won't. As Lutpin mentioned, this was already discussed.

Not really clear what your talking about.  $5 million usd would be 12,000 bitcoins.  We havent seen that volume today on bitfinex.

You do realize bitfinex is basically a bucketshop right? I wouldnt be surprised if most of the trading there was just the actual owners of bitfinex. Also i dont think any hedge funds are interested in bitcoin.

(edit: there's a reason why they decided to operate in hong kong - outside of usa and eu - because they have no regulations about that kind of thing. if they were in usa for example they would be closed immediately by the feds. caveat emptor).
