I am astonished at the ability of the bit-coin community to read negative interpretations outside of the actual words that were written.

You must be new here.
It's so mean to type like that when I'm drinking coffee.

Wait, so ICU is releasing confidential client information to you?

Which of the listed information is the "confidential" information, and which is considered public information?

Bitfloor update email for 10-June-2013

Good news at last!

I spoke today with Jordan Modell from Internet Credit Union. He was able to confirm that Roman has been in touch with ICU for a few weeks and has been working with them to set up a way to return USD funds to customers. Here are the key points:

  • After conferring with their counsel, ICU confirmed that they can legally open an account for Bitfloor. They have done so. Bitfloor's account with ICU is now open.
  • ICU and Bitfloor are setting up ACH transfer capabilities for the account. Jordan should be able to confirm by Friday this week whether ACH into and ACH out of the account is set up and working.
  • The main delay at this point is that ICU has to wait to hear back from their counsel whether they need to follow "Know Your Customer" guidelines for each of Bitfloor's depositors. Jordan said it might take as long as until the end of next week (6/21) to hear back from their counsel on this issue.

To elaborate on point #3: Even though Roman knows who most of us are (because anyone who requested ACH verification from Bitfloor already submitted photo ID), ICU is trying to find out if they need to separately request and review identity verification information for all of us, too. Ideally, ICU would like to avoid collecting this information about Bitfloor's customers, if that's legal. However, if their counsel advises them to collect this information, it shouldn't amount to much more than some additional paperwork or a brief phone call for each of us — not too much of a hassle, in my opinion, given how long we have waited already for refunds.

Overall, Jordan sounds very motivated to help with this situation. He asked me to follow up with him later this week so he could give me an update.

So much like Jared Kenna (the scammer of TradeHill fame) that it bleeds. Why should we even get excited some lowlife fuckwit has "made a twitter update"?

I wouldn't suggest anyone get excited. It's simply that I know that there is a pretty strong interest among followers of this thread to hear of even the smallest bit of acknowledgment on Bitfloor's behalf of the current situation. Roman Shtylman IS Bitfloor. So his tweets are their tweets as far as I am concerned.

M ‏@DaPlaneBoss 3hours ago
@defunctzombie @binarybits yo, I could really use that $ I had in My @bitfloor account. Any progress on getting refunds processed?

Roman Shtylman Roman Shtylman ‏@defunctzombie 31minutes ago

@DaPlaneBoss @binarybits no, it is not and takes time. But I assure you it is being worked on.

Man!! I escaped from this fiasco with nothing but a hunch!! Call it spidy sense or whatever but .. there was this guy that kept ranting about Roman and how he was a thief and he was adamant about the previous bitfloor fiasco and the losses that occurred and even after listening to this dude rant and even finding him annoying at one point i went ahead and gave bitfloor and Roman a chance! (bad move)

Shortly after i was doing ok on bitfloor and started up trading on bitstamp too..  nonetheless it was because of this forum member who was adamant about Roman that finally my spidy sense kicked in and i moved my $4k to my bank and also moved my other 15-20btc off the exchange to a wallet.


The next day bitfloor was done.. i got no email by the way!!! I found out on the forum ...


Entropy-uc (I think thats his name, maybe just Entropy)

  THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING VOCAL ABOUT BITFLOOR!!

You are responsible for making my spider sense kick in!!!

I dont even know if this guy is a regular forum member or if he will ever see this post!!!



THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! I cant believe it took me that long to get wind of ROMAN and bitfloor!

I got caught up in bitcoin trying to raise funds for a surgery i needed and a total loss would have been devastating!



Thanks again, and good luck to everyone!!



Best Regard,

So when can we get a statement that Roman owes us the money that he owes us and we can sell this off to a debt collector?

Is roman already working for crypto.st??
He cannot be since he is "working night and day" to get everybody their money back from Bitfloor accounts.  Surely, he could not focus on something else until that is finished?

Here's a recent Roman Shtylman Twitter corespondence where Bitfloor is mentioned: (https://twitter.com/defunctzombie)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

George Burke ‏@geoburke 5 Jun:
@defunctzombie Awesome idea @shamoons and I have for you Re Bitfloor. Just looking to understand trading habits of Bitfloor members. DM me

Roman Shtylman ‏@defunctzombie 5 Jun
@geoburke @shamoons feel free to just email me. Twitter not ideal for these conversations :)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So at least we have some proof that Roman actually remembers what Bitfloor is.

Yes the Chase Bank Manager recommended a Credit Union also.  FYI Dwolla's partner is Veridian Credit Union.

LOL wasn't Veridian the name of the mega-corp in that sitcom 'Better off Ted'?


Veridian Dynamics, unfortunate initials.

Good luck with your venture.  If you execute well you could own a credit union in a year or 2.

I thought about buying out a payday loan place for access to the banking system.  But the karma of their business model... ICK!!
