If you are a customer with funds held by Kenseycol PTY LTD, you can immediately start to demand your funds back. It is important to produce evidence for further actions against Kenseycol PTY LTD. Any amount of money, including Bitcoin, can be reclaimed in accordance with your terms. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=126552.msg1364595#msg1364595

from.website. it seems to say that they are paying and takes up to 6week That is called "buying time". They are tricking the customers to believe the process of returning funds is complex and tiresome. It is a bluff. They could return the funds in less than a week, even if was necessary process every transaction manually. so i was wondering if we have to go thru legal proceeding. such tedious process? Perhaps. Do you live in Australia? If so, you can serve a statutory demand. It is the best option available right now.

I also have sent them requests to finally verify my account, but I got no answer. It also seems that logging in is not possible anymore. Is it promising to contact them via letter even if you don't live in Australia? I for example live in Germany.

I actually managed to get my account verified after it closed down, the process took 2.5 weeks and multiple emails but they eventually answered. Immediately initiated a withdrawal right after, no sign of my money yet, it's only been 1 week since then.

Seems so, someone else was saying they were told 2 weeks, then that came and went, they were told 6 weeks. Link. Received just the standard answer (posted on the blog) on 19th of November about 2 weeks. Then they updated the main page with a 6 weeks notice. Their page went offline today, as far as I can see. Anybody get any answer from https://cryptoxchange.zendesk.com or any support@cryptoxchange.com email answer after 19th of November ?

To the OP and everyone else who lost money in Crypto X Change: Please call the NSW Police station in Chatswood their number is +612 9414 8499 and make a complaint about Crypto X Change and Kenseycol Pty Ltd. I just filed a police report and they said they might or might not go any further. So please ring them up and let them know that this is important to you that this guy Ken is brought to justice. What he's done is a criminal matter under Section 184 of the Corporations Act. It is a criminal offence for a Director to use his or her position dishonestly with the intention of directly or indirectly gaining an advantage for himself or herself or causing detriment to the Corporation (Section 184 of the Corporations Act).

Please ring the Chatswood (+612 9414 8499) and Orange (+612 6363 6399) police stations to make a complaint. I will be doing the same tomorrow. I've already filed a police report with Chatswood police station so if you talk with Aaron there he'll at least have some idea about what Bitcoin is. I sent my letter of demand on Friday so next week Monday I will commence a small claim through the court. Will update with any news.

I don't think it's worth it unless you plan on staying 6 - 12 months. The court process is excruciatingly slow. I went to the police station today and the officer I spoke to last time was there. He said in order for them to take any action at all he needs proof that Bitcoins were actually sent to Crypto X Changes Bitcoin address. I unfortunately used my GLBSE account as a wallet and sent the funds from there - stupidly not downloading an account history file between then and when GLBSE was closed. I have tried numerous times to get in contact with Nefario (James) via email but unfortunately have had no response. So I call upon anyone affected by the Crypto X Change scam to post any deposit addresses that Crypto X Change used. If we can triangulate the addresses to an IP address some how - or better still a Mt Gox BTC address which is linked to Colin Robert Armitt's identity, then the police have a criminal case they can work on. Please everyone post your deposit BTC addresses to help me identify where all these coins are moving!

Yes, I know, the link lists ASIC data for Kenseycol. "Cryptoxchange" was on the list (december last time I checked) of "Business name(s)", it's not there anymore.

Weird, I can almost swear I saw a list in which Cryptoxchange was next to Mr Bitcoins and West Autos. Anyways, question still remains, if anybody payed already the ASIC $8 fee to get the last registered address, please share.

I complained to NSW Fair Trading but they were unable to make contact with Kenseycol. They said the next step would be to take it to the Consumer, Trader & Tenancy Tribunal ( www.cttt.nsw.gov.au). I have had no replies to any of my letters or emails. I am trying to work out if it is worth taking the next step and getting a court order.

An ASIC search also shows CRYPTO X CHANGE as a registered business name number BN98597140 with the Office of Fair Trading, New South Wales, from 29/09/2011.

CryptoXChange has received a scammer tag, but this does not help very much. I opened a separate thread for those who would like to pursue this further on, to see how many of us were scammed and gather some more proof on that: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=142130.0You don't need to post your names/personal info, we just need to see how many of us are into this mess.
