BTER - class act
Much Respect for BTER.
Why? Wouldn't be better to freeze account and cooperate with police.
Funds - coins have been deposited to BTER trading account and this person seems he would like to sell this coins. You are not police, judge or jury. Just cheap Bter advertising.
I respect klee, but people are acting very hypocritical. If newbie would lost his funds in a similar way, you would all just say it's his fault and that he is stupid. He would never get his funds back.
Please don't get me wrong.
Yes, that's what some other people's opinions at the discussion at

You need to translate the Chinese language to what you can read
Some people claim that Bter doesn't have any right to move the frozen funds. There must be a legal arbitration.
Please help us to advice a proper institution to make the legal arbitration.
If we define 'legal ownership' of crypto's as - someone/s ability to spend/have full control, of the coins according to blockchain rules/protocol, then YOU own those crypto's while you control the address they are in. In your case, the people who have sent crypto's to the addresses you issue, and control, have a 'claim' on those crypto's.
If for whatever reason you chose to freeze an account/address, or indeed run with peoples crypto's, those people will need to 'claim' ownership.......So let the account holder 'claim' those coins.
Maybe going forward, there should be a reasonable time for this to happen, before re-uniting the crypto's to the rightful owner.
It looked like there was a consensus that was easily reached today, in establishing the validity of the theft, AND who should rightfully own those crypto's. Shall we call this consensus-claimed?
