I hate to be the bearer of bad new but this is why we need regulation in the virtual currency space.
If TF and his various businesses were legitimate and registered:
1. We would actually know who TF is and where he actually operated and
2. there would be clear and specific legal recourse.
As it stands now no one seems to be certain who he is and even if we did know, like Trendon Shavors, there may be no money left to recover.
With regulated financial services, these businesses are required to hold reserves and/or insurance to prevent the loss of customer funds from fraudulent activity or bad business decision.
As is stands you have no recourse, short of a criminal investigation.
But I guess some of the crypto-anarchists and libertarians would prefer it that way, which is fine but you suffer the consequences.
1. We do know who he is and his co-conspirators.
2. Where the law may fail, justice of the people may succeed
