In order for us all to get a better grasp and gather some evidence on the size of the CryptoXChange scam, please provide some information on the size of your claims with CryptoXChange, something like: - money owed to you - USD or BTC - CryptoXChange BTC address used to deposit funds - date you requested your refund /sum - money received
I'll start first: - 4129 USD - 15G2Bg9pTTx2ue3AJGsiKSMniS8Yi1yzKy - 10/30/2012 / 4129 USD - 0
UPDATES:
Damages (so far): about 101 000 AUD/103 000 USD

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

- 5758 USD + 250 AUD + 0.25 BTC - No idea - 12/6 (was trying to set up a bank account so I could actually make a withdrawal) - 0
If someone local intends to pursue them in court, I'd be happy to talk about assigning my debt for some percentage of what is recovered.

I would love to know if anyone has had any responses via letter or email or otherwise. I'm almost inclined to go for a drive and meet this scammer face to face

Guys, check your (MtGox, personal etc.) wallets, there should be a record of the sums sent to CryptoXChange. The address you sent to is the deposit address. Without that proof, you're just helping calculate a total loss, but I don't think you have any claim.

I do arbitrage trading, so I regularly transfer coins all over the place. No way I could tell which addresses were for CryptoXChange with any reliability. I do have detailed e-mail records of all my trades (hundreds, probably thousands) there from my trading bot though (date/time, amount of trade, BTC/USD balance at the time).

I have an email trail of the transfer to bank account request, I have copies of all real money documentation being sent to them. I dont need a bitcoin address to make a valid claim. It won't matter in any case since they have done a runner, and nobody is getting paid back anything.

You're wrong. If you follow the bitcoins, they are being used as we speak. The funds, bitcoin or USD, do not just 'dissappear'.

28 BTC and 8000 NMC lost. Oh well, not like it was very much. I'm so used to being fucked over by bitcoin businesses I don't even care anymore.
BTW: Anybody seen my full one-year subscription to Bitcoin Magazine that I paid for over a year ago but never received? Oh, while you’re at it, look for my GLBSE shares too. Maybe their hiding in the same place!

It's troubling to see all this. I am new to this scene, and am looking at making my first buy.
But sheesh! everywhere I turn there have been troubles.
MTgox accounts hacked (probably key-logger software). Coinbase super slow delivery issues in recent days. this one...
I am wondering if I should just stay clear.
what are people's recent experiences with btc-e?
TIA

About 41000 AUD so far, if I calculated correctly. Come on, people, I'm sure there are persons out there who still wait for their money, sent a letter of demand and received no answer.
