CoinLenders Lawsuit

[Mitchell]

Well, Jonh, I don't want to be a dick or anything, but it's quite known that you shouldn't invest in something, if you can't afford to lose it. A college fund is something you cannot afford to lose.

[ace207]

We used to talk about Bitcoin at home, we forgot that my 6-year-old daughter could have understood many things.
She knew bitcoin, and bitcoins will help her go to college.
Not long ago she asked me angrily: "Did you lost my college fee?"
Today she told me: "Dont click on the page, you'll lose Bitcoin."

So it is not "a xbox one", for many families, this is their children's school fees, their pensions, their future.

Well said. The small about of bitcoin I have/had in CL was for mine and my wife's future. Gone in an instant. Makes me sick. I thought I was coming to accept they're gone, but no, all I feel is anger all day, everyday, and especially the way BTC is rising to astronomical levels. Words can't describe how sick I am. I'm sure many/all of you feel the same way.  And on top of that, my wife is ill, can't do much of anything, going to doctors all the time. Could really use some of my lost BTC. And that's the honest to goodness truth.

I, like many of you, have tried to email TF several times, got a couple responses on Nov 7th:

TF said:
"Yes, there's coins left for coinlenders but also assets."

Then when asked about seeing BTC dwindle away from the 1Glados address, he said:
"Yes, GLados is the address used first."

Since then nothing.

I appreciate all the efforts of  Dumbfruit, JohnHarmer, gaston909, and everybody else I didn't mention who's taking serious action. Really hope something good will come of it in the form of at least recovering some of the lost BTC. Although, I can't help but to have my doubts.

Happy Thanksgiving everybody

Oh wow you can report a crime online now...

Keep us updated on how it goes

I think they have to call you if it happened to you
So record what they say

Maybe the more people who do this the more serious it will get..

And all the records will be kept on file...be good for the suit ect

I known.
But ppl had trusted CL and TF so much.
They felt lucky that they found CL.
They thought depositing in CL is most right decision.
They thought their bitcoin is 100% safe.

Well, I can understand why you did it. I think I would have done the same with my own money if I wasn't for the fact that I want to keep my BTC in my own hands. Anyway, I wish you good luck and I hope you can get something or all of it back.

Sorry if m Xbox one dreams upset you

I did have better plans for my investment.. My girlfriend thought I was crazy putting my money into btc I told her it was better then shares and it will be worth lots one day..

[Funky Al]

I didn't lose as much as a lot if you guys, and I don't know if I can be much help. But I've decided I'm willing to pursue this. I've spent enough time waiting.

Wow, good find! Certainly hope this is true. I can live with a 75% refund.

[Bobbycoolguy]

If he only has 1540 btc no one will be getting 75% refund...

Or maybe the lucky few who email him at the right time...

I think this is very unlikely now. Since this happened I've had faith of at least getting something back. The fact TF hasn't been seen for days says a lot.

[Bitcoin Scammer]

Please.... This is a joke the guy is gone and won't be back until his loot runs dry.

[Mt. Dox]

A few people have talked to him recently. Progress has been made, TradeFortress finally filed a police report.

[itsBusinessTime]

Many people settled with him already for a 75%+ loss. That should leave more BTC for those who are patient.

[ace207]

It'd be nice if we got our coins back before or on Bitcoin Friday tomorrow!

[gaston909]

Goodluck ace.. that's all I can say.

I admit I shouldn't have trusted TF or CL, I really thought I had done my research... but now it seems as if I found only what I was meant to. As if by design.

No xbox for me, but escalating costs relating to my health. BTC was my shot to pay for the insane expenses of medical woes. I could never have done it with my bank. I was only mm away from achieving it. But that chance has been stolen away.

I feel for anyone and everyone who saw this bringing them a truly brighter future and not just play money.

Im sure there are people very badly affected.

Yeah I saw that, have we seen confirmation?

It would be nice if him to come on here and let us know that Gris still trying to sort things out though.

If you're reading this TF at least let us know your safe and well.
