Never trust a private key that has been engraved.
As opposed to what, printed and placed under a hologram?

As opposed to what, printed and placed under a hologram? - Engravers need to be programmed and you need to trust that programming is wiped. If you hire someone to do it because good engraving equipment is expensive then you have to trust their setup and that they did not save the programming intentionally or unintentionally. Only real way is to use an air-gaped system and properly wipe it after. - any imperfections on a metal surface can be seen using imaging equipment hologram or no hologram. As opposed to an affordable printer that can be destroyed when done or one that doesn't save jobs to memory.

I wonder if the private keys were programmed into the engraving machine and if so was that the point of failure. Interesting idea.

AlitinMint said: "we will offer this refund until April 5, 2017. After this date, and due to the price volatility of Bitcoin, we simply cannot be sure we will have the funds necessary to refund stolen BTC. "
Really? You're at fault and you set a very short window to claim. There are probably only 4-5 people who have claimed at this point. That's ridiculous! Have you notified ALL of the owners? How many have you contacted??? Are you ever going to release a number of coins affected??? Cut-off day for refunds.. lolz Funny how this "quote" has been deleted from the original posts from Alitin Hope everyone got refunded..... Look, here's Richard now...... Yeah, wonder how much BTC they pocketed. Maybe they can get a job with Finex.

I'd recommend contacting them. They might not refund the whole 2 BTC due to increase in price of BTC, but they might return some of it.

You are most likely the reason why these guys scammed their own coins. They figured that dozens of people wouldn't check in time.
