I don't expect it to be much longer (maybe now) before we just don't get any more replies from him.

Looks like it is probably getting about time to kiss whatever we haven't gotten back goodbye! BTC-Arbs responses are now measured in weeks. At today's exchange rates, I have gotten back less than $20 (out of 2.3 BTC). That is not even worth the time I have WASTED monitoring this thread!

Yeah...there is no rhyme or reason to who gets payments and when...I have had two, you have had one, others have had four. But it really doesn't make a difference does it??? The payments are .02 (usually). Now he says he is 70% of the way through the list. When it is been over four months since the last payment, this means that (on average) each of us will be getting a payment about once every 6 months.

At .02 per payment x twice a year payments (heck...I'll be "optimistic" and assume THREE payments a year...ha!)...I'll leave the math up to you. It has become pretty apparent that none of us will ever get our bitcoin back...I really don't know why he continues with this charade...just sayin'...

BTC-Arbs...Rec'd one payment in Sept, one in Oct...and NOTHING since! What's up? Are we on the twice a year payment plan now?

Wow...I stop in from time to time just to see if anything has changed. Looks like all that has changed is that the frequency of payments has gotten slower and slower. Appears that most payments are still around .02 (which is anemic). With prices falling like they have been, it would seem like profit opportunities from arbitrage should have been better (but what do I know?).

I received .03 in Sept and .02 in Oct, and nada since then. If I did the math right, at this rate it will take about 16 years for me to get back my 1.3 BTC. I hope you guys that had more in this than me live well into your 100's!

Got another .02 yesterday. Much faster than the first refund, but still not much. I too would have the same question...why have some people received a much higher pct refund? (I am at just over 2% after 2 refunds).

Payment amounts sure seem to be awful low. As others have noted (and BTC-Arbs confirmed), it can be hard to make much in arbitrage when the price is not moving. Well...for the last 3-4 weeks, prices have been moving a lot (more down than up - but that should not matter). Yet, payment amounts and frequency seem to get less and less.

Finally got my first refund....

.03 of 2.33...

It's going to be a long haul to get it all.

Thanks BTC-Arbs.

I was by far not one of the last people to submit a refund request, but I am (apparently) one of the "handful" that have not yet received a payment of any kind. I don't understand why (maybe the promised repayment plan/process would clarify this).

I must have gotten the same PM as chilly2k...

"A new refund strategy has been created to pay partial refunds until your full investment has been refunded. Details are in the thread. Your first payment will be sent before Sept 30th."

...I checked the thread for the past couple weeks, but don't see the "details". Is there another thread somewhere? At least glad to hear that I am on some "schedule". Thanks BTC-Arbs!

Sent original email and PM to BTC-Arbs on 6/3.

Rec'd PM from BTC-Arbs on 7/5 requesting that all my info be sent to him again in one PM so that he would have everything together in one place. I was out of the country at the time, but sent him this info (via PM) on 7/15.

It has now been another month and I have not heard anything else at all! I have the same questions as others...why have I not been contacted or received any payments when others that have come in after me have?

I have been following this thread off and on since btc-arb went south. Just checked in (after the weekend) to see if anything new was up. Low and behold there was. I sent btc-arb an email and PM just now...and added my name to the list on the spreadsheet. Hope this works out. Would like to get my BTC back!
