It looks like that's that.

I'm very disappointed that this sort of scam would happen even still.
At the very least, I hope everyone makes absolutely certain that arij loses all trust possible after this mass theft.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm taking everything I've got out of businesses for good. Bitcoin startups can't be trusted, apparently.

I refuse a buyout.

+1 to this statement.
Though I think it goes without saying, at this point.

I thought the Bitcoin community was past this type of nonsense by now.

Ok, here's my deal.

Shares were valued ~0.0015 BTC each when btct.co closed down, when BTC were valued ~200$.
Now BTCs are ~500$, so it would be fair to expect a price of 0.0006 BTC per share.

Pay that, or you are a scammer, and I'll have a chat with my lawyer in a few days.


Over 50% of public shares have accepted and agreed to our offer. This is including 3/5 of the largest share holders.
We have consulted with a lawyer who specializes in securities prior to making our offer. We are well within our rights to execute this mandatory buy back and at +50%, the majority has already agreed to it. Rg broke his mpex contract/obligations to you guys. I would suggest finding rg and asking him where the proceeds of the sale went.

This is a non-negotiable gesture of good will and we hope you will claim your shares.

I never invested anything with RG.
I invested my money with you, on BTCT.co, under the contract that was written there.
So the price per share limit there makes perfect sense to me.

And you can say it as many times as you want, but "We're taking the thing you bought back for a tiny fraction of what you paid for it" is not a gesture of good will. It's an insult to everyone who invested with you.


Quote
2.2. The Terms of the IPO.

(a) The Directors have elected to divide BitVPS into 1`000`000 (one million) equal non-voting shares with a total equity value of 1`200 BTC (0.0012 BTC each). In the event of liquidation or breach of this Agreement they solemnly promise and warrant to repay all investors holding shares at this minimum value. The Directors through their elected representative solemnly promise and warrant never to issue more shares either on MPEX or any other venue nor in any way to dillute existing shareholders at any point in the future ;

This is the contract I agreed to, and this is the contract you are obligated to uphold.
This is between you and I. I never dealt with RG, and, to be frank, your dealings with him don't matter to me at all. They are not legally relevant.
I want you to pay what was promised. That's 0.0012 BTC per share.
I'm willing to accept the loss--since I did pay more than that for my investment--but if you want to show good will, you will keep the promises you made.

If not, be sure to give out an address where I can contact this lawyer of yours. I'm sure we can come to an arrangement.

What's going on here?

I think I can summarize as follows.

arij bought the whole operation from RG, and was informed, after buying, of some essential information, which indicates that the business comes with more liability than profitability. So basically, RG screwed arij. If arij was a reasonable person, he would go to the law to have RG pay for his actions.

However, arij decided not to, for some reason I don't understand. Then he thought that he could ask every investors to just forget about their investment, while at the same time insulting their intelligence by disguising a "here's a penny, go fuck yourself" as a fair proposition.

Of course everybody is protesting, and hoping for arij to come back to reason and turn against RG, rather than against an angry crowd of random people.

So, to be laconic...
RG hustled arij, so arij is screwing his investors.

I'm okay with investment risk, but I'm very much not okay with being scammed.
To be frank, this is a load of crap.

The only reason I invested in this company in the first place was because there was a set minimum the shares could be worth listed in the contract on btct.
To have an agreement I put my trust in broken like this is frustrating to say the least.

Wait, wait, I'm more than a little confused here.

So we're being told we're getting 0.025 USD per share? As in, two and a half cents?
Not 0.025 BTC per share?

Either I'm reading this incorrectly, or something very wrong is going on here.

At 0.025 USD per share, someone with 10,000 shares--one percent of the company--will walk with 250 USD.
That's a lot less than a single bitcoin is worth now.
So we're to accept that we're basically being stiffed and given pocket change?

I've got to be reading this wrong, because I have about 2,000 shares in the company and spent quite a few on BTCT to get them.
If my count is right, actually, my initial investment runs in the several thousand dollar range now.

What's going on here?
