CoinLenders, Inputs.io, Tradefortress (HACK)

[DumbFruit]

Well, after some haggling I was able to settle with TradeFortress for 199.383xbt. While it's a pretty terrible outcome, at least I can put this mess behind me, and hopefully preserve my purchasing power in the face of the volatile bitcoin market.
I'll continue to update this thread, but any legal action will have to come from another party, as I no longer have any stake in the matter.

These were the transactions;

c2da4a08c7f01f4ca599ab75594d3510abffa0db0f52a1c4f0349eded37cc772

Perhaps as a result of this deal TradeFortress can offer a better proportion of your deposits back.

The 199.383 XBT was in CL or inputs?

[dwdoc]

It was 20% reimbursement of Dumbfruit's 955btc deposit at CL.

[gotpetum]

That's 20%. If you invested in CL, and everyone defaulted, then given the depreciation of most of the securities, that's about what I'd expect and is fair, or at least tolerable.

How did you negotiate that? I'm trying to get a hint if that was an offer TF made to keep you quiet, or that's an offer you made to cut your losses.

Did he demand your ID?

[Boussac]

I do not believe one second that Tradefortress has anything to do with the thieves.

I believe Tradefortress simply underestimated the challenges of securing a bitcoin wallet.

He should be doing what Instawallet did, i.e set up a claim process with a time limit and refund everyone who files a valid claim on time.
IW managed to remain solvent but if Tradefortress did not, he could at least do partial refunds.

I'd be interested in continuing pursuing a lawsuit as well. I'm from the US and had ~116 BTC at coinlenders.

...

He went on and on about how inputs.io was massively secure, then kept the whole wad in a hot wallet on Linode?

I don't think you are that stupid Boussac.  Unfortunately, this points back to the conclusion I'd prefer not to draw.  Namely that you are a crook.  And if you are not a crook, you are far to naive and clueless to be holding any money for anyone.

I am in as well. Have about 300 at cl!
I am not in the us but will be in australia soon.

[Martijnvdc]

I wonder if lawsuits like these will hit the news.
Also, as TF is only 18, how the hell is he going to pay for these?
in4b "with the stolen money"

[gaston909]

He is leaving people with no option but to go to Australia! It's crazy.

He does not communicate with his investors, just stays quiet and hopes for the best.

[nsd]

I too am starting my own legal proceedings against Tradefortress. I am based in the United Kingdom, If anyone within the European Union want to collaborated with legal action please PM me.

Can only refund Inputs.io now, which you don't have any other than 0.0005.

There will be automated systems for CL.

Hi, we have sad news..

Due to major hacks, Inputs does not have enough BTC to repay everyone fully. We're dividing up the coins we do have left based on a sliding scale, and have sent it to the specified address. On your Inputs account, your balance should have flipped to the negative to indicate you've received a refund.

We apologize sincerely for the lost Bitcoins. It's been a very hard lesson for us, and we're sorry that we have to pass it onto our users. Please respond to the email if you have any queries.
