I agree that Ukyo would be in a good position to do this.
I would agree that Ukyo is in a good position to do this. At least it wouldn't add another person to the chain of people that could lose our money.
Unfortunately, Ukyo has undergoing financial trouble of his own. Here is the case against him. I'm very sorry to have to air this information.
(1) He ran a site similar in functionality and size to TF's inputs.io. As of a few months ago, people were unable to withdraw their coins.
(2) Ukyo continued to allow deposits for more than a month, without posting a notice that they would not be able to withdraw.
(3) Ukyo confirmed that the bitcoins where there, but that the software was overloaded. (Spoiler: the coins were later reported "gone")
(4) Ukyo claimed he was manually processing withdrawals, and the depositors planned to announce when they had received their withdrawal. Nobody announced that they received a withdrawal following Ukyo's claim (until the recent 6% payout, which I'm very grateful for).
(5) Ukyo made several promises that he would be able to explain what happened (and that the news would cause a spike in the bitcoin price).
(6) Ukyo asked the NeoBee person (CryptoCyrpus) for help. CryptoCyrpus made several promises that they would be able to explain what happened with everyone's money. CryptoCyrpus finally reported that the bitcoins were "gone."
(7) Most recently, Ukyo claims he can't tell us what happened to our money because he signed an NDA. He apparently signed something that could get him in trouble if he told us what happened to the money we gave him.
I enumerated these by memory, so I might have made minor errors, but I think each point is evident from the public record.
I appreciate his offer to help, and there's a good chance that it might help us get our money back. Also, if he's willing to help, I'm happy to help redeem his reputation. And, there's a good chance that posting this might make him angry and refuse to help, and for that, I apologize. But fool me three times, shame on me :-)
On the other hand, it's pretty bad that Ukyo signed something saying that he can't tell us what happened to our money. I assume it's generally not sound business to trust someone with your money who has lost all of your money before.
Therefore, I'd prefer he transfers the assets to TAT (if he agrees, or pretty much anyone else) for him to liquidate. Transfering the AM-PT shares, at least, is as simple as sending FriedCat an email. I'd happily pay a % to TAT (and even to Ukyo, for helping) for this service.
I'm open to discussion, and like you, I hope this is resolved quickly.
