Dean's a real piece of shit. I hope this all comes back to haunt him.
Why don't you just do it now? It's not like you don't have the money...
If he pays investors back right now it means he would be eating in to a tiny chunk of the $2.74+ million siphoned-off by stealing those 30 million BKB tokens. If he is not doing it then it means there is way much more than this than meets the eye.
If memory serves me correct the domain was supposed to expire on 14 October 2019 and I noticed the website was not working on that same day. Maybe the website was down before 14th October 2019 but regardless I think the domain expiring ever had any issue to do with the website being down because it was being diverted via the Cloudflare nameserver anyway.
What I gathered so far is that he sent emails to investors (on the day he pulled the plug on the betking website) informing them there was a problem, he had to close the website and that he would give updates as soon as possible. I think it was today around 10 days later he sent emails to investors informing them there were no funds remaining because they were stolen.
Well since he has the database he can publicly post the ALL the wallet addresses where the stolen crypto was sent and he can also post the the hot wallets and cold wallets addresses too. That would be a start to prove if there was really a scam or if he stole the funds and blamed an imaginary hack. He can also explain why he transferred all of the cold wallet funds to the hot wallet which would have been very convenient if they were to be stolen.
