"wish they had as much bitcoin as we do to trade in the markets"

this would imply you had significant BTC holdings beyond what your victims deposited.  That should make it easy to guarantee that all your investors will get their full deposits back ASAP.

Is this where you now post blockchain links to addresses showing depleted BTC stores, or do you feel the need to brag again and post a blockchain link to some fat wallet  that may or may not even belong to you or your partners?

Why would it take so long to liquidate the funds? they had people trading 24/7 and never lost money, it should be ridiculously easy to get all that money back to send back out.

Because, apparently, they're doing their investors a favor by returning their deposits early at ALL, instead of making them wait the full 90 days for shares to mature. As soon as they were informed they were in fact operating in violation of the Securities Act, they should have immediately cancelled all shares and credited the investors back.  The fact that they feel the need to go through some sham of having to "liquidate" assets suggests they haven't got the capital to cover deposits. And of course, anybody calling them on this bullshit is being insulted and abused. Because that's the way to endear yourself to people who gave you money to play with and whom you might want to support your new fly-by-night shitcoin. TwerkCoin? TwatCoin? FleekCoin?

I did enjoy the tale of how the compliance and regulatory licenses, etc, caught them completely by surprise.  Yeah, cuz nobody thought to...ya know..google that shit BEFORE opening business up to investors?

"Hey, we're gonna be handling potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of crypto here. Maybe one of us should spend 5 minutes researching what we need to do to be legal..........naaaaah, let's just wing it. What could possibly go wrong?"

That, people, is called "half-assing it".

Glad I didn't invest in this mickey-mouse op.

(14:52:07 PM)  Maxx: "If there is not enough bitcoin after liquidation to refund the total amount deposited into the pool; the ratio of bitcoin after liquidation to the total deposited amount shall be taken and applied to each account. " Not sure I understand this line. So we might not get our entire deposited amount back?
(17:09:09 PM)  Phantom: when a trade ends from the time we bought in to the time we sold off. that profit or loss is put to a profits pool to do payouts over time. this profits pool was always positive.
(17:13:18 PM)  Phantom: all the trades that were bought in but not sold out of are losses right now. We had a stop loss point that if all investments caused the estimated pool value to fall below 40% we'd get out of all coins and stop our losses.
(17:13:49 PM)  Phantom: this didnt happen we are stopping for other reasons
(17:15:18 PM)  Phantom: but until a trade is ended it isnt factored into payouts. you can move in and out of coins with thousands daily. its a misconception of the pool from the start from many people.
(17:18:39 PM)  Phantom: you might not but as some of the liquidations were decent losses. though we really want to leave this on a good note to not leave a negative feeling for flirtcoin or new project.
(17:21:29 PM)  Phantom: So we will find anyway possibly to pay back the full deposited amount regardless of losses. Further costs out of our own pocket and in multiple installations if neccesary. This is to all be worked out fully still.
(17:23:17 PM)  Phantom: for one of my last messages: cant* move in and out of coin with thousand
(17:30:54 PM)  Phantom: Fact of the matter is at absolute worst this is not a total loss. It was a risk not a guarenteed thing, we always said this. And bitcoin is going to be returned month(s) before any terms were expred. So we are exceding all obligations of us. We're not going to do much more than that for your happiness if you arent satisfied with that situation.

Translation: "You'll get what we decide to give you, and if that's not good enough, too fucking bad."

So, basically they went from saying all investor funds would be withdrawable (earnings+principle), to users will get their principal back FOR SURE, to "now we're not sure we'll be able to cover everybody's deposits, so we'll justify it by saying it was all a risk", and telling investors that if they don't like it, too bad.

I signed up to determine if they were related at all to bitcoin-trader.biz ...

I trust Havelock. They've always treated me well, with respect and great customer service.  However, the SHA-T IPO from CBCM stinks to high heaven, and I won't be plunking down my hard-earned BTC on it.

They don't work on the weekends, and yesterday was a public holiday in the UK (where the primary staff are based). You should see some action on that cashout today.

4 day bump.
17  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [Restitution Proposal] on: May 23, 2014, 12:35:50 AM
So, to make sure all parties on the list on the original post have a chance to claim a small compensation, i've decided to leave this offer open until May 31st of 2015. However, I will be setting the compensation value at $53USD worth of bitcoin at the time I make the payment, as that's about the value of what the first 5 claimants were each sent over the first 2 days of this offering.

I figure it took me a year to figure out how to tackle this, the least I can do is give people that long to respond and claim.

Still only 5 responses so far.
18  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [Restitution Proposal] on: May 20, 2014, 01:30:12 PM
Nah. I'll keep it open for a while. I really want to see more people turn up from that list.
19  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [Restitution Proposal] on: May 18, 2014, 06:31:18 PM
2 day bump. Still no new claimants.
