I've used GLBSE as a storage wallet back in the day. After being inactive for a few months, the website was suddenly gone and my btc as well. I've sent a few emails (once per month), but never got any response at all. I thought he closed the website, took the money and ran off to south America or something like that.

Is there any way to still contact this guy to get my btc back ? At this point they would be worth thousands of dollars...

That said, I'd strongly advise people to stay away.

I can confirm that logging in starts a timer as well.
