His last update in the thread were:

The 2nd phase was ended.

Due to several legal issues, I decided not to start an auction of 3D printed Bitcoins.

The amount of Bitcoin is exchanged to RMB by myself, with the highest rate during the donation period ($167), and adding up some changes, equivalent to ¥33,000。(31.54615348 *167 * 6.14 = 32346.7948)

Since then, there has been no update from him on how he intend to hand over the fund to help the victims in that disaster.

While the donated amount wasn't big, there is no reason for him to take his own sweet time and sit on the charity fund for so long.

According to Chinese media, this person self-proclaimed to have over 100K bitcoins in his possession, as much as the Winklevoss twins.

Why would a person of such wealth status, sits on a small donation sum all this while? And why is he, a Chinese nationality, not making his own significant contribution to help the victims of the disaster?

If he isn't really going to use the money to help the victim, he should refund them back to the donors.

Using charity as an excuse to take advantage of other people's generosity is just the lowest form of scumbag.
