Taking the time to say thanks, this means a lot out of the majority of replies here
. I answered someone else's questions below to give insight into the future.
Hi linkandzelda,
Just wanted to convey my gratitude for you reaching out to your previous client base.
1. Was your business, Cryptorush insolvent at the time you sold?
2. How much (roughly) did you sell for?
3. If/when the new site comes back online. Would you personally be happy trading there?
4. What are your future plans? Are you currently involved in/plan to start-up another cryptocurrency business?
No problem at all, here are some answers.
1. CR was insolvent in the Bitcoin and almost Litecoin & Potcoin currencies at the time it was "sold". This means that every other currency (except for the ones with small chunks that I had sold like AUR and MZC) were solvent at the time I passed it over.
2. I never actually sold the business I gave it away free of charge with the condition that the new entity takes on the responsibility of repaying users. I "sold" it for $0. At the time it was very difficult to think straight about what to do, and my plans would have worked if BlackCoin problems didn't happen. It was after that I just had to find someone who could run the site as I was no longer in a state to run it, with people offloading onto me I guess anyone would feel the same way. That's why I tried to find people who would just take over with the intention of saving it.
3. Yea, I would trade there simply to support the sites growth. I used to trade on the old CR all the time, sending my personal funds back into fees. I'd trade on their again providing the new site is run well and they have the coins they trade in. What I mean to say is, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to trade coins that I didn't want to just to show support. Maybe I'm wrong about that but theres no site up yet for me to give an answer as to how it will feel trading there. From a general and personal perspective I'd have no problem trading there in the future, since I have faith in the new team.
4. My future plans are I want to start a new business but I'm still assessing things and "recovering" from these past events. I'm afraid with my name all over the place here and various media sites it's damaged, and that won't help any new business startup. I really liked running CR and cryptos in general is probably the best thing I discovered to date. If people think I'm the "big bad scammer behind crypto rush" it will inevitably hurt any future business I decide to go into. I do hope me answering these questions from people gives people a better view of the situation and of me as a person.
Crypto Rush taught me some things about my ability to run (or inability, depends how people look at it) a business so I have to go away and think hard before opening something new. I don't want events like this to happen again because of a fault or something I did wrong. And then there's the other question, how many people who are angry like horiacretan would act if I took on a new venture. I can foresee that they would come to bang down the doors, at least that's what I would fear if I opened another business. So this situation has trapped me basically, and until Crypto Rush is open again and I can see that plans are in progress and being executed to pay people back, I'd actually feel bad if I opened another site.
That should give you some insight into my thoughts. Also thanks for asking a question like this, makes me happy
Anyway, back on topic:
Linkandzelda, Thanks for coming here to post some answers.
My question is this:
Who is the current owner of CR?
We've been through 3 new owners already, the first one was Fyrstikken who was in charge for about a week until he stole funds, and I forcefully took it back from him. At the time I was negotiating with another person to take control because Fyrstikken was doing nothing but sitting there and spreading false news about progress. This other person was Sygma, and he's the one I handed it to eventually. He then brought on a whole team of workers (the current team) to act in various positions. Then recently Sygma stepped down but the current team stayed as it is, with a member of that team currently in the works to become the owner and assume Sygma's role. On paper and from a legal standpoint, Crypto Rush still belongs to me, though I have no power over its operation or future.
Linkandzelda, Thanks for your answers - It's honorable giving time to people who need support.
I never used Cryptorush, but have some friends who loved the site, just like a lot of the now "Haters" on here. To be fair that's something as Founder you have to live with, their anger being understandable.
It's the Hackers that are ultimately to blame and you all fell victim to their theft. I think it's noble for any man owing up to personal failings/mis-management/poor client disclosure, and his ability to move on from it, so respect for that L&Z!
Personally I think you should carry on pursuing the number one priority - your previous client base. Not sure how much influence you still have being CEO with no Power of Attorney, but if there's anyway letting Sygma (or successor) know to provide more frequent/scheduled updates, I'm sure Cryptorushers will appreciate.
Best of luck for your future projects, you've demonstrated at least to me, a desire to become a better/conscientious leader.
