[zmcnee]

Yes it seems like they aren't pursuing anymore. Here is the wallet where my dogecoin, and may other people's from MOOLAH went. https://blockchair.com/dogecoin/address/DTvwqKryAZXTFFobK8jBS4KKzQ5CYEiP4D

The balance transactions from seven years ago total: 323,652,980 DOGE

The liquidator released another progress report on 05 Jul 2021.  

Page 6 says they recovered 16100 ethereum, and 16100 ethereum classic. They sold the ethereum for £14,799,706, and the ethereum classic for £115,506.

Regarding non-preferential creditors, page 7 says this

To date we have not taken any steps to formally admit creditors claims. However, it is anticipated that a distribution will be made to creditors.

This is the liquidator's progress report.

Wow!! Thank you for this. Sadly no dogecoin yet.

[HI-TEC99]

Wow!! Thank you for this. Sadly no dogecoin yet.

Apply to be a non-preferential creditor if you can prove you had doge there.

Judging by the eth sale I doubt they will directly return coins to creditors. They will probably sell them and return cash instead.

Page 12 of the insolvency/liquidators annual progress report from 26/04/2016 contains a form for letting the liquidator know what you are owed. This is the link to it.

According to this filing on 28 January 2021 the insolvency/liquidator's registered office address changed to

Liam Alexander Short,
Elwell Watchorn & Saxton Llp,
8 Warren Park Way,
Enderby,
Leicester,
LE19 4SA.

I assume you would send the form there.

Sorry, I don't know if that's one of their wallets. If you have screenshots, or some other proof of your deposit it might be worth sending that form off.

Has there been any update on Bitcoin or Dash being recovered in the last several months?

Not that I know of.

Keep checking for a new progress report here.

https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/09009856/filing-history

They usually produce one in early July every year.

I did a bit of blockchain sleuthing and discovered a few sizeable DOGE balances that haven't moved since 2016, before Ryan Kennedy's arrest. Am keeping an eye on them as Kennedy was released from prison last year. There's a Reddit thread about it but the most definitive online proof he is out is that old moolah_io tweets redirect to an account named @eccentric ninja

For example:

https://twitter.com/moolah_io/status/461518092162842625

Here is his 'comeback' tweet:



And another one from around the same time:



Kind of unspectacular posting history that ends in Sept 2021. I get the feeling that he was being contacted by a lot of people he ripped off and ditched his account knowing he could never shake his old reputation from it. My gut feeling is he's definitely out there cooking something new up as people like him never "get better."

There's a new progress report coming soon at this link.

https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/09009856/filing-history

This is what it says today.

05 Jul 2022    Progress report in a winding up by the court
This document is being processed and will be available in 10 days.

[HI-TEC99]

The progress report's available now.

They now have £15381452, but it's £14689082 after legal fees.

They found 8.3 bitcoins, which they sold for £392175.

They estimate the liquidation will take 18-24 months to complete.

Thanks for all these updates you've been making on the thread. Much Appreciated.

I feel like at the time I got most of my altcoins out and I do see a BTC withdrawal the day before I think they were taken offline, but I don't know if it was all of my BTC or if I maybe had more. Have they been able to verify balances by date and time of withdrawals or anything? Maybe I'd have to find whatever old wallet I may have withdrawn to and find the tx hash? Pretty sure Mintpal was dumb and didn't include the hash or addresses in email withdrawal confirmations.

I'm not sure if they have database backups. Did Kennedy wipe the database? Does anyone know if they have backups of old snapshots?
