Final Statement from John:
Dear Clients
Regrettably I have to announce the failure and closure of Bitcoin Trader.
While preparing for the final audit results, a task we were working on for weeks now, our bitcoin wallet has been hacked and emptied, just after exchanging our fiat holdings within the exchanges to bitcoin and transferring our entire holdings to our wallet, in order to proof our solvency.
It is a known fact that I personally opposed any proof of solvency, but agreed to conduct it for the sake of a few dozen small and medium investors.
The hacker contacted me shortly after he took advantage of our holdings and demanded a ransom in order to transfer the coins back. I have agreed to a 25% ransom of the entire sum, but haven’t heard back from him for several days now.
My aim was to create something based on trust, just as bitcoin itself is based on distributed trust. Unfortunately I must admit today, I have failed. All left to do now is to declare bankruptcy with the Panamanian authorities and to hand over all relevant files and information for further investigation.
Sincerely,
John Carley

IMO
I honestly believe that all the aggressive trolls and hater, which spread alot of FUD abt BT made John to f*** his community. However, I support investigations, because I dont believe in the Hacker, who stole the funds. Some people saying i am aggressive and a hater troll too. Anyway. Ladies and Gentleman, it was an honor to fight with you, now its tea-time.
P.S.:
Hello, I'm writing to you in concern about the case Bitcoin-Trader.
I was hired by a bunch of investors from that site to find John Carley and Michael Brandenburg and bring down their website and server.
I encourage you to disclose all information of the whereabouts of these two subjects.
Please, feel free to send real name, address, photo or telephone numbers back to this email address.
If you've still contact to these 2 cheaters, tell them their customers want an answer till Monday, Okt 20. 2014, otherwise we will take illegal action and chase them down.
Have a nice day,
Blacknight
