It is quite obvious that there is a very real possibility that we aren't getting our money back ...

It is? Is there some source that supports this? Or is it just a feeling you have? Roman is always ridiculously quiet about everything. Even when the 25kBTC hack happened. I would actually fault him for that quite a bit myself: that's not how you run a business, regardless of what happens.

to now no ETA at all! (as of yesterday)

sounds like we're definitely heading in the wrong direction

Sounds like it's about time for Bitfloor to hire Inaba as their PR rep, though that would also mean the repayments will actually start to go out in February Grin

Really glad I only had a couple bucks in there. Cool

Luck you! You know what fucking annoys me the most about this whole fucking thing? As a rule I NEVER would have had that much USD in my account under normal circumstances, but when Roman tipped his friends off ahead of time that he was shutting down it created a huge bitcoin buying demand by those lucky few getting rid of their USD at whatever price possible, drove the price way up, smart traders like me, having no idea what was about to happen, saw this spike rising and took advantage of the demand and I did what I NEVER do and I sold a nice big chunk of BTC. I forget what it was, like 20BTC I think and planned to buy back in as soon as the price stabilized.. but no sooner than I sold my coin and before I even had a chance to create a buy order Bitfloor halts trading and Im sitting here with $4k USD in my account ... I NEVER HAVE THAT MUCH USD IN MY FUCKING ACCOUNT.

There is so much shady suspicious bullshit going on here it makes sick that I ever felt any sort of trust for that fucking criminal.

Same exact story here, but with different numbers.

Ditto. I was mildly shocked but happy when my sell filled, but now that I know why, I'm far less happy.

banks dont stop business owners from sending out emails to their customers letting them know their $ is at risk!

banks dont stop business owners from having an open dialog with their customers after events like this.

banks dont stop businesses from being transparent so that their user base is confident even when disaster strikes.

banks dont stop businesses from engaging clients via social media outlets, the same outlets that were used for support when they were taking youre money.

banks dont stop people from being a stand up people ...

There is nothing about capital one that would stop roman from reaching out to the user base of bitfloor and assuring them their funds are safe and in route!

Then only thing stop this from happening is -------------->>> BITFLOOR

There i said it. A lil transparency goes along way..

Exactly. There is much more going on here than just waiting for a bank to issue a check because if that's all there was to it, we'd hear some reassuring words. It is quite obvious that there is a very real possibility that we aren't getting our money back and, in that case, any reassurance to the contrary issued by Roman right now would be admissible in the upcoming law suit(s) against his company for stealing from his own customers.

Yeah, I had expected to hear that they had their check and were now investigating what the fck they can do with it. The 5-1 quote sounds like they don't even have it yet, which would be different from expectations.

Maybe anyone is interested, but it was discussed earlier how reasonably believable it was that his bank (ING 360, now owned by Cap1 btw) could close an account without any reason. The thread consensus and my own knowledge is that yes, they can. I just ran into this article:

http://business.financialpost.com/2013/04/27/bitcoin-canada-banks/

Funny quote in the article too:

"“Only in Canada do you get a situation where a bank can shut down your account and you’re out of business,” said Melvin Ng, an engineering student at the University of Waterloo and the founder of what is likely the country’s newest bitcoin exchange, Cadbitcoin."

Not only in Canada, Melvin...

Wow, all this work and lost profit because his bank didnt like his business. He could have just switched banks and been on his way.

After getting the check, there is still the issue of finding a bank to deposit it into, wait for it to clear, get set up to send a whole bunch of transactions to a lot of different people, some of the transactions being tens of thousands of dollars. For large sums he may have to set up the AML and KYC stuff for the new bank, too, since the new bank might balk at him trying to send so much money to otherwise anonymous people.

sounds reasonable to me .. wouldn't it be nice to hear any of this from Roman?

Yes. Yes it would.

he knows that we're intelligent adults who understand how the world works. he knows that silence in a situation like this is like a cancer for good will.

any information at all would create some good will .. alas, it seems he is not interested in such things and you have to ask 'why is that?'

why is he hiding?

what is he hiding?

what are we not allowed to know?

WTF???

Their twitter page says that their website is the official outlet for news and to not trust reddit or anything else. They have the May 1st info on the webpage and not on twitter so looks like bitfloor.com is what to watch.

I haven't had any experiences of this nature in my personal business life, but every time I have ever awaited a check(or other things) from the bank, they have been early, not late.

Where does Roman live? Anyone know? NYC?

Seems a little doubtful. But could be cleared up by someone doing a little explaining. So, is the account closed OR NOT? If it is closed, he could have received the money the next day. So, why doesn't he say what is going on? Are they declaring they have the right to put a hold on the funds in case of fraud or chargebacks of some sort? That would seem tough for the bank to justify. Why, once again, do we have another bitcoin "business" (those two words together seem to be an oxymoron) that has problems and is silent. Go read the tylenol case if you want to ever have a credible business in the future.

ROMAN WHERE ARE YOU?? WE NEED TO KNOW WHATS HAPPENING

This. Perhaps Roman is more of a doer than a talker. I hope he does something quickly. I feel no sympathy, nor am i angry. I want shit handled.

*I want to believe*. Perhaps it's misplaced optimism, but I don't find it too hard to believe he is simply ignoring everybody until he has something new to report. Some of the @bitfloor tweets after the 20th even say as much. Still, that voice is increasingly drowned out by "fuckingshitfuckfuckshit".
