I traced my deposits as well. 2013-06-07 my deposit ended up in its currently final destination (the address has no output tx), namely this address: http://blockchain.info/en/address/1EU29NuckRY8VfVoDJCe8w6a5LQTFS8wk1It has almost 3k coins, and if you look careful, 1GLados (TF's personal address) is also depositing coins here. I asked TF about it, and here is his reply: Hi, Yeah, BTCOxygen (who I previously regarded as very trusted) kept the coins and completely stopped contact with me when I wanted my money back in Sept this year. I don't have much hope that he'll suddenly decide to give the BTC back.
The tx from my deposit and 1Glados is regarding 1k coins, I don't know if CL have lended more than that to BTCOxygen, but 1k coins is a minimum. It seem like btcoxygen is running a mining pool, but stopped paying out mining rewards a while ago (thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=127815.400 ). Unless someone knows where to find this btcoxygen guy, I guess we can forget about the (at least) 1k CL did lend btcoxygen. 2013-06-07 my deposit ended up ...
I can't understand bcz CL was seted up in 2013/8/29 Uh, I think I'm discreiting pretty much everything you're saying now. I "invested" in Coinlenders in 6/22. It's been around way longer than 8/29, sadly. Sadly for my sake, anyway, I wish it only started back in the end of August, I'd still have my money in that case.

I'm in. Go after TF, The Thief! I deposit 10.15 BTC at CL, 10 is principle, 0.15 is interest! Take a look at my sig.

I lost ~20 bitcoins on coinlenders but I owed CL more in bitcoin loans. I am pleasantly surprised at this outcome so I am not joining any action at this time, but I welcome debt collection efforts on the part of TF/CL. So far, I have not been contacted about settlement/discharge.
If you do end up paying back the debt, pay it back to someone in escrow rather than TradeFortress. I really feel like any debt repayments should go straight to the people who TradeFortress owes money before he sees one satoshi. Can't take credit for thinking this up, it was brought up up in a thread a little over a week ago in this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=341492.0

Putting any debts owed to TradeFortress into escrow at least until he starts to communicate about the situation is a great idea. Is there any trusted member in the community who is willing to offer this service? Apparently he isn't even attempting debt recovery: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=283756.msg3776620#msg3776620

You can add me in as escrow. I run BitcoinMalaysia.com; btc-asia.com , an automated escrow; attended Bitcoin Singapore three weeks back; and help organized a meetup last night in Kuala Lumpur that featured Joseph Lee from BTC.sx ( www.bce.asia)

So all of this ended up being one big, dirty scam and/or Ponzi scheme. I can pleasantly say I have managed to recoup some of the losses doing oddjobs here and there, but now more than ever, I think something has to come out of this to give the next would-be Bitcoin scammer second thoughts.

FYI I have reported this alleged crime to the Western Australian Police. I'm not going to post any details here until I find out more from them, I'm sure you can understand why. I will keep you all updated as things progress.

Agree 100% CF. Perpetrating a million $ online scam should result in horrific real world consequences.

If you are stupid enought to get tricked into handing over all your precious bitcoins, YOU DESERVE IT.
This guys is a fucking genius and deserves a medal. If there would be a "scammer of the year award" I would nominate this guy. Y`all scary asses don`t deserve to own bitcoins.
Bitcoins are for the educated, the new elite!

For the moment you should inform your local law enforcement. You could gather some of the info of the forums to help them to investigate.

We were advised by an Australian attorney to seek restitution through law enforcement first. They can bring more pressure against TF and it would be cheaper for us than a civil suit.

Welcome to the snafu, takagari. There's talk of a lawsuit and the tracking him down (at least virtually) has already been done, though I don't condone the assassination talk by any means. I'm getting ready to email the SEC about this at the email address someone else gave a while back, debating on whether or not to do that or email TF again to in attempt to get my money back. Not particularly interested in accepting his offer of just my original USD value back however. Hasn't been made to me personally, but enough other people have gotten that offer on the board that it seems to be what his offer is (or was anyway).
