I must have gotten the same PM as chilly2k...
"A new refund strategy has been created to pay partial refunds until your full investment has been refunded. Details are in the thread. Your first payment will be sent before Sept 30th."
...I checked the thread for the past couple weeks, but don't see the "details". Is there another thread somewhere? At least glad to hear that I am on some "schedule". Thanks BTC-Arbs!

Ok everyone...I need to take a few mins of your time so you can watch me eat some crow...
If you check this thread you'll have seen that a number of times I mentioned that BTC-Arbs will likely never pay me back nor consider my claim legitimate because I had previously called him out on an extensive thread as a scammer over on Litecointalk forums.
Well, looks like I'm looking like the fool now as BTC-Arbs PM'd me last night!
So I want to publically apologize to BTC-Arbs for my previous speculative comments. Clearly you've proven me wrong and you are being a stand-up guy and trying to make things right.
Going forward, I'll just sit tight and continue to be patient...

Got a PM. Now I know, he knows I exist. 
Sept 15th. He mentioned a new payment schedule was in the thread. Not sure what that means as I've been following the thread closely. Maybe he's referring to the make smaller payments to everybody. Either way I'm happy to be acknowledged.

Received a whopping .05 Bitcoin today. The payments have gone from 1 BTC to .25 BTC to .05 BTC. Pretty discouraging.
Count your bleessings...At leat you've gotten something back. I've been waiting since the begining of the replayment period with zero communcation.
Although I'm pretty sure he's not going to pay me back or even acknowledge I have a legitimate claim because I called him out as a scammer back when the site was "sold" to another company. I want to have faith that he'll do the right thing here but who knows...with my luck he'll save my claim till last and I'll be in my 70s or some such.
It's jerks like OP that cause such a problem. See you called him out as a scammer, and you were right, but then he punishes you. And then no one else will take a stand with you because they all want to stay on OP's good side to try to get something back. It's like with lunamine, I was saying he was a scammer and there were some people sticking up for him because they want to try to get a refund. Glad you had your principles.

got paid. .1 btc so far still have .9 outstanding......nothing for me this round hopefully I will get some next round.
September 01, 2014, 04:12:44 PM
Yeah, definitely glad to be getting something back, but the pace of repayment has become excruciatingly drawn out...and I would think that over the past 2-3 months, he could have had a lot of the smaller accounts fully repaid, so the larger ones would be seeing more and larger refunds...not fewer and smaller.
September 01, 2014, 02:56:31 PM
Dude has said he isn't contacting anyone until they're up for refund. We all want to be next in line, but that isn't how it works.
September 01, 2014, 01:44:53 PM
Nothing here. No communications either. And I've really done nothing to him.... Still waiting....

Still nothing here.

Who was the other two people/website/information or anything that scammed you twice before Btc arbs.com?
One was an online LTC wallet from like ~1.5years ago when I first got into Litecoin mining. Took me for a few hundred LTC.
The other was a private trade which went sour when the other guy disappeared. My fault for trusting too much and not using escrow.

Still nothing....

More refund payments in 5 minutes.

The semester starts in a week. I really need money for books. Guess I'm screwed, thanks a lot btc arbs.
Please don't take this as a defence of what BTC-ARBS did, but...you shouldn't be risking money you can't afford to lose. If you knew that you needed money to buy books, why risk it on some fly-by-night high-risk venture in the cryptocurrnecy world?
I've been burned a couple of times by various scammers (including BTC-ARBS)...each time I learn something new to protect myself. I also NEVER put in more money than I can safely afford to lose and assume that I'm going to get scammed. This is the Wild West of CryptoLand...you can't blame others if you get suckered into a scam. BTC-ARBS was too good to be true...we all knew it at some point, yet like every miserable human, we fuckign got greedy and let that greed overcome common sense.
I'm sorry you lost money...but I don't have much sympathy for folks complaining they got scammed.

Got message for more info today, sent it in, hopefully that is a good sign for me.

Obvious smells of mult.accounts..Not everyone ever had the thought of scam or greed.. It was very possible and for long term.
