The following statement is an assertion of fact and in no way, shape, or form should be considered speculation:
If a company solicits investments, and then does not pay an investor or investors when they divest, that is very bad.

I can only speculate what the truth is in regards to MP, and if they are solvent. However I believe this whole fiasco regarding MP, starting from when Ryan owned it is evidence that the business model to run a casino with a community funded bankroll is not a sustainable business model.
There are simply too many competing interests for this model to succeed. The added competing interests of the app owners only amplified this issue.

I very much disagree. I'm sure there's better examples, but the one I am familiar with is bustadice.com which launched ~4 months ago with a community funded bankroll. Players have had access to a pretty cool gambling game, investors have done ok (up 62.9 BTC) and bustadice itself has made 19.98 BTC in commissions. When you consider the expenses (other than Daniels time and energy) are very minimal -- it really is a very sustainable business. Even if you assume there's going to be no player growth, it'll still probably end up clearing 500k USD/year in profits. It might not be mega-money, but it certainly a sustainable business model. There are simply too many competing interests for this model to succeed. The added competing interests of the app owners only amplified this issue.
Again, I'm going to disagree. Gambling is a huge industry, and it's such a scalable business. An extra player is pretty much pure profit. I will say having competing interest of app owners definitely makes it more challenging and stressing to manage and it's easy to feel like you have too many masters to serve. But I believe at it's core MoneyPot has a fundamentally strong business model.

Check out gamblingsitefinder.com for a decent list/rankings of crypto casinos. Note: I have no affiliation or interest in it, and don't even agree with all the rankings ... but it's the only uncorrupted review site I'm aware of.

Maidenvoyage was looking to withdraw ~109 Bitcoin from Moneypot to buy into the BetKing ICO back in June/July 2017.
Moneypot didn't let him withdraw and forced him to remain invested in Moneypot with the promise that if Moneypot didn't earn enough profit from player losses to pay back Maidenvoyage the full amount he lost (31 btc?) since investing in Moneypot that they would pay this amount from their own pocket.
If they didn't have 31 BTC then it was obvious that a site with no traffic would not generate enough profit to pay that back or that you could pay out of your own pocket with the huge increase in Bitcoin price from July to December.
It's now February and Moneypot didn't make enough profit to pay back Maidenvoyage and they haven't paid out of their own pocket either.
Since July Moneypot tried to do an ICO, presumabley this was the plan to raise the funds to pay back Maidenvoyage by December, but it failed to raise the amount needed and was cancelled.
Then there was the merge with MonsterByte that again, I assumed would pay Maidenvoyage his losses with the funds they raised in their own ICO but that doesn't seem to be the case and it looks like MonsterByte might not even own or want to work with MoneyPot now.
I can't see how Moneypot can ever recoup 140 Bitcoin to pay back Maidenvoyage, certainly not by some debt token for a site with no traffic.
I think that Moneypot should send all Bitcoin they own to an address and sign a message proving they own the funds. If they don't want to make the address public for whatever reason I, Ryan or dooglus can verify the signature and at least Maidenvoyage can get an idea of the maximum he might be able to recoup based on the reserves Moneypot has.

Everything correct and a solution here "in the forum" of any kind surely might be welcome and more effective. Until then I prosecute MP through the legal system for this colossal loss and embezzlement.

Moneypot Inc. is aware of your claim that’s been filed. We believe we have an NDA in place on both sides and we are honouring that agreement in full. We will not publicly speak to any specifics, but will let the proper channels determine the final outcome.
We ask that you stop making wild speculations or false accusations in this public space.
Everything said by the official Moneypot account remains on track. All other users that have an available balance are being paid out as explained previously. All announcements made recently remain the same.
If you can't confirm or deny anything due to an NDA you should expect people to speculate. There can be no discussion without speculation. Asking people to stop speculating is a huge red flag imo.

I just tried this. 1) I logged in to the withdraw server, and saw my outstanding balance: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FVF1JxvU.png&t=665&c=EWu2wSkiZ9-L2w) 2) I clicked to "instantly" transfer my balance to the new MP. It told me my balance had been migrated: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FJjBTWfK.png&t=665&c=fVvck_Zaoe9RTQ) 3) I checked on the new MP and found that my balance was still empty: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FgLt84wp.png&t=665&c=3ANgKoz2mHuY7g) So what's the deal? Is the transfer function broken, or just a bit slower than advertised? I did see an option to withdraw on-chain but the fee is excessive. 500 bits for a transaction when the mempool is empty and transactions cost around 5 to 10 bits per output?

I just looked into this. Your balance still shows on the old platform. There has been a significant amount of successful migrations. I ask that you please try again as the queue service that executes it may have failed temporary. There was actually a migration 23 minutes ago, after which you would have tried. Edit: I did not see your request even go through to the queue. Was there any errors in your browser console? Id be more than happy to migrate this for you manually.

I didn't think to look. I clicked the button 3 times before posting here, and all 3 times it popped up a message indicating that the migration had completed. I guess the message must be generated client-side, and doesn't necessarily mean what it says. I retried after moneypot's post here and it worked that time.
