Sometime I get an internal error (Error 500).

There's maybe a hardware problem?!

Smells more like DDOS attacks have brought the server down....

That, or they want to give themselves another plausible excuse for why they've lost everyone's money again..."Oh no, DDOS attacks, we were compromised, all of your money is gone...even though it was never on the web server to begin with and nobody could have accessed our wallets by doing it..."

True...

Don't suppose anyone has some good leads on alternative sites ?

One thing is for sure, when it comes back online I'll withdraw all my btc. If they will..... ever :/

No way they are coming back online, this mess is over.

That is what I thought before Easter when the site was down. But my gut says you are right.

I personally wouldn't bet on that ever happening. They've finished their scam and are simply winding down now - closing the site and not responding is literally the last stage of the scam. The best you can do in the future would be to avoid HYIPs like the plague; all they do is abuse the greedy nature of people.

damn ... i left a small 0.02x sum in there to withdraw a bot later .. now the site is gone .... along with a 3.5 btc ballane in legacy
ps ... how long has it been down for?

Not even 24 hours.

It's a shame these sorts of sites exist as it does taint the legitimate sites by association. Glad I didn't lose too much money but it's annoying anyway. Still, had some fun on this thread.

Bounty - Hire agency to find them, friends, and most important, their family. They'll beg to give our money back.
What does anyone think that will cost? Maybe WE should start a detective coin dedicated to finding scammers.

From the moment I've discovered what HYIP industry is (and to be honest i was pretty shocked that people are putting their money somewhere knowing that sometime later it gonna disapeear, hoping that they will make some profit on other victims and withdraw before the end), found few monitors that are paid for that, I've now differing legal investment businesses by simply checking them on the monitors, if they are listed i'm not investing there...
Besides real investment cant promise such an high income in such short time, usually this is months, half year or so..

aaaaaaaaaaaaaand

that's why HYIPs are in no way gambling.

not everything that involves risk is gambling.

you don't see insurance offerings in /gambling, why would the mods allow HYIPs?

who the fuck knows, prolly still drunk on dat early BFL advert monies to "improve the forum software"

i'm sure the 5000 coins are being properly used to that end. Carry on!

This has been the weirdest experience ever, watching this thing unfold. If they really do just sort of unceremoniously disappear now, after all of the story-spinning about an acquisition and the legacy funds and all of this, it'll have been the strangest collapse of a Bitcoin enterprise I've yet seen. I suppose they may have managed to con just a little bit more money out of people by giving them the appearance of "recovery" for a month or so.

I was not hopeful that I'd ever get even a significant percentage of my money back, but I'd have liked it to be more than just the 5% or so that I ended up being able to withdraw.

The only accounts they've been takers on for the 50/50 split have been tiny ones.

Well not only that but I had originally put 3.6 in btc-arb, then over the course of the next several weeks kept making withdrawls and had pulled out slightly over half of that 3.6 by last week (the last 2 withdrawls were very small because the legacy ordeal happened). So me doing a 50/50 split was going to put me in the black and Adam/Ron were probably none to happy about doing that.
