I've been away and busy with other stuff... if all this is true, in a way it's moot to me because just after Uniq went live I had a screw up involving two identical Samsung 850 drives and installed Win 7 and Doom over the one with my only copy of my Uniq wallet on it, so I blew my 115000 Uniq anyway.
Tried the usual forensic tools as soon as I realised my screw up but it was toast. Would have been OK as I usually keep copies of my privkeys seperately, but I'd just sent some Uniq to Bittrex for my bot to play with and hadn't ticked the 'send change back to the same address' box as I normally do, so SOL.
Still, Doom was pretty good, SP anyway.
Probably I lost far less than many of you, but on the other hand I put hundreds of hours into learning how to bend and shape the standard Bitcoin QT client and I think I've taken it as far from standard as anyone has without actually starting from scratch, so overall I'm viewing the whole thing as a learning experience.
Still seems odd to me that the dev went the scam route (if he did) - the guy had skills and put in way more hours than I did, 30 BTC or whatever doesn't seem like much for all that effort.
