Still waiting patiently for mintpal to fix up the error... (assume its just a error)

there was no error, if you read between all of the fairly clear lines, Alex Green is a chronic con artist who essentially orchestrated the buy of Mintpal in order to raid it, as well as plunder the financial resources of his financial backers.  Green (just one of his many aliases) did not appear to have a long term perspective, to a sincere desire to "manage" an exchange on a day to day basis, the income is too small and too slow, it is apparent that he rather go for the "oh, I'm sorry this didn't work out, let's go bankrupt and start over or I quit" route.

Mintpal was relatively new to the crypto market, it developed nicely, had it not been for the hack it probably would still be sailing along.  However once in the hands of Moolah it suddenly suffered where it had no problems.  Remember, it was supposed to be taken off line to improve and upgrade security however when it came back online it was worse, in every way.  It was literally set-up to fail.

Mintpal and Moolah was like night and day, good and bad, the contrast was so sharp it caught everyone off guard.


Thanks for the explanation, do you think we would ever get back our BTC? another goxed Sad

gox never gave back any money, not even the fiat that was scheduled to be mailed out.

nevertheless, I seriously doubt if any btc finds its way back to any investors without physical harm placed on the offenders

chronic con artist need a different stimuli to do right, arrest, jail, fines, and prison is not enough.  They need pain
and suffering.

I don't think it will help this Alex Green guy.  He's unrepentant.  Believe me, once this blows over I bet he'll be back with a new name and a new scam.  It's just too easy to scam in crypto for a guy like him to resist.

True enough these types will come back for more
The issue is that he has officially pissed a ton of people off so he rather be vigilant because someone out there is hunting for him
And will find him eventually (less the police of course)
