Hello
As a former customer of Betnomi as well, I'm very happy to see Betnomi coming back here and doing this refund instead of just leaving us in the dark (which would be an easy thing to do but Betnomi looks to take the honest way regarding this). Kudos if former customers can really get a refund here.
Submitted my form as well just yesterday for my small amount still in my account (but hard to remeber the exact amount as Betnomi is down for a very long time already).
Fact is that, the team have every opportunities to run away without any refund since their already know that the Betnomi as a former brand can not be used again, and also team being able to come under another identity and then continuing from their, I think that approach could have look as good and way for them to avoid refunding old customers.
I agree to you, that the team still can do exactly nothing even after announcing a refund here now.
But that would not make any sense in my opinion because for Betnomi, it would make things even worse. Because announcing a refund first and not doing it then, would get Betnomi once again a scam accusation for repeatedly breaking promises etc.
In addition, if Betnomi doesn't do any refund, this whole procedure would be a waste of time for Betnomi (setting up the topic here, setting up a refund mail address, reviewing refunds).
From what we have right now, a honest refund seems to be likely.
But you are right, only results matter here and we'll only be able to judge the refunds after refunds are done.
So, I'm hoping that Betnomi is honest here.
But despite all that, the team decide to come out and make statement on the state of things and what we as a community stand to benefit from if there is anyone who lost money in Betnomi during their company crisis, so this is a highly commendable character for the team to have taken this route and I am sure with good reputation, the new brand will gain visibly faster, so that shouldn't worry us as long as the team keep up with their refund process to regain the trust of everyone.
