But this person can cheat and get away with it? the police can not do anything?

IMO, Egopay will continue to work and same Virtex. from what I see, I think they will cover the loss. I heard that some exchangers were already refunded.

Firstly, I through they will run with the money but then...I am not sure. They said the truth on their Blog...there were hacked by "inside" ....Why would someone refund few exchangers, posting update on the blog by saying "inside infos" like the real owner name : Aziz and so on...

hey mayax let me know if they payback or something like this i have 123$ on my virtex account

For me, the situation is still the same:
I am Virtex.com victim and I haven't yet gotten a single cent out.  They are not paying neither BTC withdrawals, nor my request for a larger number of euros which are currently held hostage on their scam site.

You may contact http://www.mayzusfs.com/en   which is the Virtex's financial partner since Virtex was launched ( Mayzus is processing their bank wires for both egopay and virtex).  Maybe they can give you more information about this situation.

Yes, I saw posted somewhere on this forum that someone got back around of 1200 USD back and I saw that few(not all) Egopay exchangers were refunded.

Seen loads of ads for this site and not seeing many post about it and no threads. Good thing I come across this thread tonight as was about to deposit on Tuesday. So happy not done this. Had me suspicions that it was a scam.

What is interesting tho reading though this Virtex  owned by Egopay hmm is their actual proof as I have never had any sorts of problems using  Egopay in the past and have used over the years since it poped up after the mass problems with Payza before it was known as AlertPay

Well Doog was suspicious of them from the start, I was as well because when one refers to Virtex the first thing that comes to mind is cavirtex the Canadian exchange not that scam exchange, the fact that they defaulted and were also related to Egopay is news to me though and my condolences for those that used their services, until we get more reliable stable exchanges these upstart scams are scaring away new users.

according to the new update from Egopay, it was a real hack and they will cover the loss...

the only ones who can say that are those who have money in it....

New article about the scandal:

MILLIONS STOLEN: INSIDE THE ELABORATE BITCOIN SCAMS OF TADAS KASPUTIS, EGOPAY, VIRTEX.COM & PAYMENTBASE

Quote from the article:
"The tale of Tadas Kasputis and his related Bitcoin companies is far more complicated, spans multiple countries, and may quite possibly be the most elaborate Bitcoin scam in the history of Cryptocurrency."

It also lists the collaborators of what the article says is his "scam empire": Paulius Meskauskas, Tomas Andzelis, Mantas Gustys and Erik Schryvers (although I am pretty sure that the latter person was not really involved).

Finally it urges involvement by Consumer Affairs, the police, and potentially the FBI.

that article is not correct and it has wrong infos.

Virtex's payment processor was or still it is : http://www.mayzusfs.com/  and  https://virtex.com/education/bankwire

Virtex is based in Lithuania. Virtex Systems Ltd was incorporated in Seychelles, but the operations center is based in the beautiful city center of Kaunas, Lithuania.

Only thing that business like this are doing is causing bad news and no doubt the news and goverments will use it as a tatic to scare people into not using BTC and stick away from it. More and more scam companys are doing this as theri s no refund options if they run its coins gone and most sites set up fake details run for a short time or have some sort of goals in figures for income on it and coins within the business and then take a hike down scammers lane

News ?

No good news yet:

I made my first withdrawal request from Virtex.com on January 06, but have heard NOTHING back yet (and of course not money yet either).
They owe me both fiat money AND bitcoin.

Meanwhile, the site is still up and online. It appears to be trading. There is no blogpost, no email updates, nothing at all to alert the unsuspicious that anything is wrong.  They are simply just not communicating with their victims, and we are the ones who have lost thousands.

We need to take police action against Tadas Kasputis and his collaborators (Paulius Meskauskas, Tomas Andzelis, Mantas Gustys).

EDIT: I would exclude Erik Schryvers, because I don't think he was involved, but he had early contact with the con-men behind Virtex, even from before the time that they established their scam, so perhaps he can be a witness in the trial against them when they are caught.

I doubt will be any news from them even taking to the police wont make any difference you need fraud division and prevention not police if the exchange is using fake and none legit details then it will be very hard to track them down and only maybe by going to hosting company to release ip addresses and contact numbers and even then it wont do much good.

I would be first looking to find a member that is in Virtex and find out if in same country as it is located in or you will end up having very little grounds on to file claim.

Anything that is outside of your own country, you are faced with International laws and regulations and then even having to get a solicitor in both countries to work together and can end up costing an arm and leg to proceed with legal action to recover lost funds, to see if action can be taken to recover. I would be first looking for to report to their National Fraud & Cyber Crime department and file a case and investigation to be taken against Virtex then to proceed at taking legal action to recover your loss.
