What really irks me is that I have not received one response from my numerous emails I sent after the first response, even when the rare updates mentioned how important keeping communication is.
...
That irks me too. I believe that bit365 takes advantage of anonymity to distance himself comfortably from customer support.
In other words, he sleeps at night peacefully without thinking about your 53 btc. But you sleep at night thinking, "How when... or even IF ... [you] will ever see [your] btc ever again."
To me, this is a violation of karmic law. As such, I have assured bit365 two things.
1) I will have his identity by January 31. He doesn't know me. But he MAY come to know me -- as many have already come to know me -- by dismissing me as inconsequential. Though this has not been pleasant historically to others, he is free to choose.
I assure you that I have worked every single day, including Christmas to uncover his identity. I will have it by the end of January.
2) If his bets are still outstanding by the end of January OR he has not come to some agreement with his creditors by this time ... I will give the documents I have to anyone to whom he owes bitcoin. I told him this in order to force him to come to payment agreements with clients such as yourself. I am disappointed to learn that he has not reached out to you. Perhaps he wants to learn "the hard way."
I am not a threatening man. But I make the promises that I keep. This is how I sleep at night.
I am telling you this in case he does not work anything out with you by February 1, to reach out to me and accept the documents that I have. Perhaps I will conclude his identity; or perhaps I will do 99% of the work that a third party needs to do so.
Speaking of which, a third party has been tentatively contracted. His fee is 1 btc, however, I have committed to 0.1 btc.
I am accepting donations for my efforts and the efforts of the third party I have contracted: 1Bcnt4thpoN4an4tUbScZSyTgyvDMyjeNq.
