Question for deposit-takers

[IveBeenBit]

Hashking, Patrick, Victor, Ziggy & anyone else who accepts deposits:

I'm curious if any of you guys have seen a wave of withdrawal requests since the pirate chaos happened. I'm more curious than anything, because there's another deposit taker on these forums who was "not exposed to Pirate" that I always privately suspected of running a de facto pirate passthrough without his depositors' knowledge. This deposit taker went into default a few days after Pirate closed up shop, and blamed it on a sudden deluge of withdrawals in the aftermath of BTCST closing down. So I'm wondering if pulling your deposits is the new "thing to do," or if this phenomenon is confined to just this one deposit taker.

I also have mixed feelings about if I should have aired my suspicions and circumstantial evidence in public weeks ago. We've all seen how Micon & others approached their issues with Pirate and I think the resulting circus was bad for the forum's atmosphere. I didn't want to be "that guy" but I also don't want to see people get ripped off. So that's sort of a private ethical question that I'm wrestling with and would be interested in hearing any perspectives on that as well.

I wouldn't be surprised if there were "hidden" pirate passthrough yes.

By the way who is this deposit taker who closed up shop?

As I said I am hesitant to be the source of more forum drama, but also think that I maybe should have said something a month ago. See my 2nd paragraph in the OP if you want to help untangle my dilemma.

You're right, it did ruined the atmosphere of the forum. That the main problem I had with team ponzi.

I cannot speak for Hasking, Patrick or Ziggy but I have not seen a wave of withdrawal requests, at least in in my deposit since the pirate issue. Things have been more or less the same in this last wee, in fact 7 investors made new deposits and an equal number of them withdrawn. The total amount of bitcoins in my deposit is almost the same as well.

I think this the pirate issue is going to help us separate the wheat from the chaff.

I have had a few withdrawals, but nothing out of the ordinary.

Anyways if people notice more withdrawals the cause could be that they want to panic sell or anything.
