So... my first day I netted a whopping .01%.  That's .002 btc on my 2 btc.

The fee to withdraw my 2 btc would be .035 btc, so basically about 15+ days for me to recoup the fee. (not the worst thing in the world when mutual funds often take 6 months + to recoup commissions.)

PLUS...

They claim that you can make "up to 5%" which stands to reason that if they net more they keep 100% and they probably keep a portion of lesser amounts.

Which is fine.  In all honesty I EXPECT it.  I just feel like full disclosure is a great thing.  I just don't buy that their only revenue comes from the 1.75% fee.

Am I wrong?

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

As I've said before, it seems fishy to me. Too fishy.

Maybe they finally found some jackass to give them a few hundred BTC and now they're getting the hell out of dodge.

yeah i dunno, if they really did just run off with everyone's deposits, I'm surprised it wasn't sooner. I saw multiple withdrawals over 100BTC on that list of theirs.

Ugh. You guys are incouragable.

He's having problems with his connection is all. It'll be back shortly.

No one is running away with anyone's money.

I agree (with both the previous two posts) but it seems strange to see Matthew being nice to these guys.  Are you getting soft Smiley

Our family was terrorized by Homeland Security.  Read all about it here:  http://www.jmwagner.com/ and http://www.burtw.com/  Any donations to help us recover from the $300,000 in legal fees and forced donations to the Federal Asset Forfeiture slush fund are greatly appreciated!

I talk to him on Skype everyday. Believe it or not, there are all kinds of bonus levels that aren't accessible from bitcointalk.org. And I use a Game Genie, too.

It's the front-end to an experiment for an arbitrage trading bot.
