Thank you! Do you know when they stopped operations?
Around the end of 2014, his staff cared on for a while without him, he's more likely dead than missing.

AsicMiner was one of the first companies with a successful asicchip. They had a big hit with their first USB miners and paid loads of dividends to the early investors. Somehow their follow up productline and strategic decisions didn't work out, followed by empty offices and rumors about a dead cat.
Since then it is awfully quiet.

It's crossed paths with sales addresses over multiple addresses with amounts that are too large for individual sales transfers and too consistent/regular to be for paying electric expenses. The multisig address (3Mkw) has inputs from 1KYXrw4Ftkmomfs4iyVXUSqQeRX75Unoi8, and repeatedly puts outputs through to 19iVyH1qUxgywY8LJSbpV4VavjZmyuEyxV, which I identified as a nexus in my OP.

Hello,
I'm new to the discussion here, and unfortunately don't have time to read all the pages here, so would there be someone kind enough to give me a brief summary of what happend to ASICMiner? So when were they founded, launched first product, and went bust (if that's the case),a nd the reasons behind it.
Thank you in advance!

Jutarul was just a Board member of Asicminer (=big fish). I think last Boardmember meeting was around late january 2015. So he should know something.
If someone got paid to keep quiet, this person probably would talk for money, too.

It's indeed a bit strange that he does not react even when people ask him.
Though i wonder if there is someone who lost enough to pay for infos. Maybe those who could lose enough were warned and dropped out. Though on the other hand, the signs were there that asicminer will never pay big divs so i assume only a few big investors might have still believed.

no one is ever going to get any btc back. i would simply like to know what really happened. if FC really was abducted or kidnapped or murdered I think there would be a little more news around it.
a scammer absconding with company funds is not newsworthy in the btc world. it happens to 99% of these start ups.
a btc businessman being murdered or otherwise made to disappear is actually pretty big news.
seeing as there is zero news i can only conclude FC is alive and well and spending the company funds.
i also think he paid off anyone who could actually expose his whereabouts.
i dumped my shares ages ago, so im out, but id love to know where FC is and/or see him face the music.

Someone wrote some post above that the biggest shareholders visited him some time before, or only one of them?, and the poster wrote it might be possible that they got paid to keep calm.
I can't imagine that since it would mean that a lot of big players in the bitcoin world actually would be some form of scammers, getting paid knowing that everyone else will lose everything.
And the miners who were stolen in mongolia? Guess with no existing company now anymore there is no way at all to get them back. Or was that only a cover story?
The only big share holder i know who should know something is Jutural.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/jutarul-44764
But he never replied to my message (he speaks german btw). So
Why is it hard to imagine that big players in bitcoin are scammers? If you think about it the round table of scamalot is quite crowded.
I know that alot early adopters and such have a strange kind of ethics, examples probably everyone knows, but what i mean is they surely are not all this way. If he met with one shareholder, well, the risk that one person is corrupt is 50-50%. But having to take on 6 or more big shareholders sound like a problem. It's very unlikely that all are corrupt.
Was Jutural running an asicminer pt or was he only a big fish?
In any case, there should be alot big fishes. And nothing is heard of them. Either they work in the background or not at all. Which would be strange. They might have earned more than they lost with asicminer but still.

Everybody was well aware of bitcoins exit scam risk, and everybody lost what it could afford to.

Is anyone actively going after him for this scam? I figured that everyone just seemed to be letting it go. It seems the people who really got taken were the AMHash buyers?
That's something i don't understand in the bitcoin community too. Till now i went after any scam where i lost, regardless of the chances. Well, the success is not huge but there. But still, it's pretty strange that no victims combined to go after things till now. Or am i only not aware of it?

Hope these guys will suprise us with something that NO ONE in the market did untul now !!
To create a real mining rig that can beat the difficulty and make real ROI !!

In no way there is still a working company alive. They are dead in so many ways. Your hope is hopeless for sure.
I wonder what the police would find out when they investigate all the people that were near friedcat. Someone has to know something i think.
will they still be able to find anything if the evidence is completely fried?
One thing we learned from all the scams that happened is that nearly no scammer is as clever as he thought. So it is unlikely that a scamming friedcat can go through without anybody near him knowing anything at all.
the people who took him out know where he is.

Oh geez, what a mess. Usually the price rebounds at least to some degree after going down... I don't know... 200%??? But this is just insane. Yeah, ask side seems to be frozen atm... So either Havelock is malfunctioning or we can only push even further down from here. I suspect the latter -.-
