Both of those are the raffle money. I'm sure somebody mentioned another escrow somewhere. |

After all checking I sure he has only raffle money no other money because currently just winners are mostly waiting for him no other post any thing about him It's a shame. I've used him once for escrow in the past and it was slow and he never lived up to his end (but did send the funds after a delay). One side of me wants to think that he wouldn't scam (being so involved in blockchain), but the other half of me realizes that a large percentage of early adopters are scammers.
What's more puzzling / a bigger mystery is why would he return the 1000 forum coins but not these 100. It doesn't make sense. Does he have any other money still held in escrows? yes he still is holding money for this group buy https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=177994.0 (check last few pages) There's this group buy apparently. |

Why did he return 1000btc to theymos instead of running away with it?  Why didn't he return all the other bitcoin he held in escrow? Cuz theymos has enough BTC to hire a hitman. Everyone else is now poor enough to not be able to afford one.. Thats why |
Tip Me if believe BTC1 will hit $1 Million by 2030

The price of BTC has basically halved since he was supposed to release the raffle escrow. If I was a winner I'd be extremely pissed at this stage.
Did he ever set-up a dead man switch or something similar?

He said he did: Good to know, thanks!
The risk with John K is probably that he doesn't have an institution around him that can survive his passing. If he were to have a heart attack today and die (not wishing it on him!), is there a substantial chance that all the funds in his btc escrow account would remain there, possibly forever locked away? Does he have a contingency plan?
Hey, I do have a dead-man's switch in place as all the addresses I use are cold wallets printed and stored physically in my safe. I regularly back my escrow list of transactions up to two off-site locations, and in the case of me and my family's incapacitation my family lawyer is authorized to release the funds accordingly with the list. However, I still make it a point to not keep too much of escrow funds at once - I try to move through escrows as fast as possible to not have too much risk that I cannot cover using my own BTC funds at once. That's why escrows that might take longer (say, 2-3 weeks +) is charged a higher fee here. I don't hold more than 5k BTC in escrow at the moment, barring long term storage like the forum's funds (that I started to hold part of since I was a moderator). |

He was demoted a while back. If you have a problem with John regarding his escrows, that doesn't really have anything to do with the forum. This thread is also a better fit in service discussion since it's about his escrows, not meta. |

If anyone got any funds hold by John I don't think that you should except them to come back. He probably is in an island, drinking some cocktails with it right now  |

If I was a winner, I would have expected to never see John K online again.  If anyone got any funds hold by John I don't think that you should except them to come back. He probably is in an island, drinking some cocktails with it right now Exactly. |

so much for a great john k. i can't say i am surprised.

I don't have any special way of contacting him. I don't know anything about his current status.
No Bitcoin BTCatsignal? How did you request he send the forums funds back before? Just PM or email? Email. |
