John K has delivered the coins 

[roslinpl]

John please fulfill your contractual obligations soon so that you don't throw your reputation away over 100btc.

Hmm perhaps he will throw his rep away
Is his rep worth 100BTC?

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.

Here's hoping you get your coins back gents.

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?

[roslinpl]

What to do...

Live's go on.

Winner is still a winner just he do not get his price



Cheers!

not really.. theymos has his ips..real email... his details i  would imagine (alltho aparantly theymos does not ask for id.. he just gets randoms to hold money for him)
much bigger chance than anyone else finding him...

well... but a good thing nobody lost any BTC

[OnkelPaul]

Don't know if anyone else noticed that the bitcoin betting site betsofbitco.in went into autopilot mode (bets not being resolved, access and withdrawal not really reliable) around the same time. Could there be a connection? I have not investigated any further, just noticed the similar pattern and timing.

How much is he holding for that?

[Revolution]

he is holding 100 BTC if I am correct

[hilariousandco]

he is holding 100 BTC if I am correct

He's holding 100BTC for the raffle. Is he also holding 100 for the groupbuy?

Thank you for doing this unluckyduck!

I think we need to face facts that JohnK may not be coming back and Coinroll seem disinterested in even trying to make things right even though they benefited from a large amount of advertising. It's particularly annoying as a winner, but we are only a small group that are following this.

I do think it's worth keeping this issue alive for a while though.

Any other thoughts on courses of action?

[bigtimespaghetti]

Also, please update my address as that's a wallet which is now out of use and potentially compromised.

Thanks

[Amph]

tnx for this thread, i was hating how no one seems to care anymore about this raffle, as if it was not counting anything

also there is no excuse anymore, the winners were confirmed by Scrat, it's just a matter of few clicks to send the corresponding reward, you need like 5 min to do this...

[hilariousandco]

Do we have any word from theymos whether he actually contacted John about this matter? It might be a good idea to start filling this thread with all the info people have on John - known email addresses and other details etc.

I really can't believe this issue is still up in the air.  There should be some kind of updates from those who no john k and have worked closely with him over the years.  The is a shocking turn of event indeed.

My thoughts exactly. It makes no sense. Which leads me to believe that there is/was/will be no interest of Theymos to provide any info or even just an opinion on this.
