Instead bitmit will simply keep your coins
I would assume that exactly this is not the case but wouldn't wonder if it took a while to decide in some cases. Last resort should be to give to charity.
As much as bitmit scares me for being secretive about their identity and holding customers funds I don't think they would easily abuse the escrow of all things.
About your warning: It's all too easy to fabric video proofs and I fully understand that for the sake of overall user satisfaction they have to take into account a wast array of indicators that not necessarily can all be public. False positives not being 0% will get them loud enemies, so they will try to avoid them, too. Still, being a loud enemy doesn't proof you are a false positive, so just one case will not make people consider bitmit to be a scam but you to be a scammer. The burden the first whistle blower has to take.
agreed, Feel free to check out my ratings here on bitcointalk and also on bitcoin-otc if you need some proof that I am a legitimate buyer/seller.
Also for those of you with less experience with how the OTC works I do have a few fake negatives, fake meaning they came from people who are rated negatively, this is because one scammer tried to blackmail me with fake negatives to give him money.

I have sent them many emails which they conveniently do not respond to, then I have to post publicly here just to get one response which since then I have not gotten a response. They responded to my original pm telling me that they could not decide the case in my favor due to not sufficient proof. so I asked how I could prove it in the future and what would happen to my coins which I got no response on still
