It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

Sorry for your loss. This is why I have never bought any funded physical bitcoins though I have been tempted.

Lesson to be learned here: Pre-funded coins are counter-intuitive to Bitcoin. They are a bad idea to begin with. Short pocket excuses.
Stop trolling and educate yourself. |

I'm very sorry to see this, bitenvy. I just checked my Adam Smith coin and cracked it open because it was still funded. This is very disheartening. It looks like 18 inputs of approx 2 BTC were sent into this address: https://blockchain.info/address/19A5uTjZzip9gmNUVjSifeAeUwMdyYQ4zQIf Alitin wants to gain any sort of credibility here, we need them to publish a full list of all addresses to determine how many may have been compromised. We also need to know the full chain of custody from who generated the keys, who did the engraving, and who performed the final slabbing. It's odd that they may have only redeemed a small number of coins, so maybe only a subset are at risk. If your coin is still funded, I would strongly consider redeeming it now and forget about losing out on whatever premium you may have gotten. At this point, I doubt people would want to buy these funded or pay any premium at all, so just take your coins if you still can.  |

I purchased two Adams and both have been swept as well, on 2/26. I purchased them in early 2015. I live in US. Will be contacting authorities on Monday.

2 coins so far swept.... and there is no public address list??
I would assume that all coins are now empty.
Wonder which maker is next???
Wallet explorer indicates more than one on that first address following it forward one hop to -> https://www.walletexplorer.com/wallet/31fe4d3703621e4f?from_address=1LyYobKJVRbLCizjqpQJxC7CkumHh7fGx2 then again I may be reading that wrong. Sorry people, that sucks. |

I guess since BTC is at an ATH, we can expect more and more of this kind of stuff. Anyway, this has turned me off to physical BTC permanently. Wasn't very much for me, they were pretty cheap at the time, but not happy regardless. I have Richard's email if anyone wants it.

Well.. there you have it... more proof..... I would recommend anyone who owns one and is an active member on here to open a Scam Accusation thread asap. Also, I have two Joanne's and they are both still holding 1 BTC each, will be cracking them and retrieving BTC. Sad, I really like the coins, now the kids have something more to play with.  |

This is pretty sad, what's the best theory so far as to how the coins were unloaded?

Keep us updated. I've also shared my # with him as he responded via email. He stated that he will "personally guarantee" the value of the coins. I've requested face value refund.

I can confirm that at least 2 of the coins I sold and loaded myself were redeemed within the past week.

I spoke with JR and this is all news to him after I emailed him. He has personally guaranteed me the funds on the coins will be refunded to me and wants to make things right. They are investigating how this happened. JR said Richard will be posting shortly in this thread. I truly believe they did not purposely scam me or others, but someone somehow got a hold of a handful of private keys from at least a small grouping of coins (18?). I suggest we give them some time to investigate this since I just found out about it and notified them a few hours ago. I believe they will make things right.
