This is what should be done when people, no matter how long they have been around or how "trusted" they are, don't deliver their products. People should not loan bits privately to keep companies afloat. They should not stay quiet. All this does is help the scammers continue their scam. Hopefully this is all resolved in a positive manner and FFS people, lets not do presales. Only sell product that you have in hand - its not difficult. If you can't finance 10 ozts of gold, maybe start smaller with 1/10s. I've had nothing but positive interactions with Chris @ BTCpenny. But I also stopped buying them 6 months ago.
Right on the money with this....If people do not speak up then the issue will manifest on others down the line. No matter who and how long a person has been here, anyone can fall under troubled times... the sooner the issue is stopped, the less likely for others to lose their BTC.
