Got my reply finally for 30%.  Looks like he's basically offering the value of the money in USD from when it was deposited.

Thanks. I look forward to any valid information. A

Also, I contacted Theymos about TF's trust rating. I got told that there is a problem with the algorithm and that he had fixed it for TF. TF is now showing a neg 187. Please go and leave a negative comment. At least he won't be able to capitalize on the relationships he built as TF. He'll have to start over, and if we really DOX him, this will follow him forever.

Hello all,

I just received a refund of about 19% of my 35.5 investment back (including interest).

I had been one of TF's supporters here, but not any more.

TF came up with several innovative business ideas that had real potential. In the end, I think that CL was in trouble from defaults and in danger of becoming a ponzi scheme, though I do not think it started out as one. The hack, based on the information provided by Dumbfruit, shows both arrogance and sloppiness. TF had ample opportunity to protect his business and our funds and, for whatever reason, did not do so. There is a chance that he was part of the hack on himself, but I don't think so. I think he was arrogant and thought no one could be smarter than him.

I could forgive TF for the hack and even his mistakes in allowing it to happen. I cannot forgive the arrogant way he has treated his investors. This hack was an opportunity for TF. If he had come clean immediately, apologized for his role, and worked fairly with his investors, a great number of us would have continued to support him. CL is dead, but he might have thought of another businesses idea that we would get behind because we would know that this individual is a stand up guy.

Instead, it appears he has not tried to refund all inputs depositors. Then, when it came time to deal with the CL investors, he let it become a free-for-all of people trying to guess what the rules of his game were. He should have come up with a process-instead he made one up on the spot. He has said that he would only consider offers to cash out that protected other CL depositors. BS. At the end of the day, I believe wholeheartedly that TF is going to have thousands of bitcoin in his wallet. That is his goal.

I have agreed not to join any lawsuit against him or to make further claims. I no longer have a legal right to do so. If he had been humble, open, and honest, the amount I received would still hurt dearly, but I would accept it and wish him well. Because of his F-you attitude, I feel that he should be held to account.

I will be writing and posting on my website, bitcoinwarrior.net, an expose of TradeFortress. If anyone has any information that would be helpful to that article beyond what is written here, please email me at [email protected]. If anyone has any more DOX information about him, please email me.

Further, for those who are considering a lawsuit, please email me. I would be happy to publicize your efforts, try to recruit more people who may not be following these boards, etc.

To TF: You can either be perfect, or humble. You are clearly not perfect given that you could have prevented this hack. You may think that you can ditch the TF handle and walk away clean, and you may be right. But, it may be that this finds a way to follow you for your whole career. I'll be doing my best to make sure it does.

I have other funds to support your operation, PM me the details and how much funds will you need, but I still want to spend these 26 my way

Lives here, if you dont already know.

Please PM me! I think those funds will be better used to pursue criminal charges against TF and hiring a private investigator.

I was offered ~15% to settle and sign away my rights, for that percentage I would rather join forces and try to send out a message and so possibly stabilizing the Bitcoin economy. Scams like this have a bad effect on the community and Bitcoin as a legitimate financial instrument.

...
Does anybody know if there has been a reaction to the situation by the Bitcoin Foundation?

+1 on the warning and BTC no longer play money

Others in this thread who's talking to TF to "settle". DO NOT!

Seems like TF thinks he can get away with returning little of the funds as possible. You can see this attitude by him responding to your inquiries only when the price of BTC takes a hit. Also consider the fact that although he is trying to return your BTC in fiat money worth, he is still asking his borrowers to return fully in BTC. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

We should also be setting a message. BTC is no longer play money. Just like how we were able to charge Travis Wright with his ponzi scheme, we should be able to charge TF with his failed insurance deposits. This needs to bring media attention so that we can help legitimize BTC and send a warning to other scammers that yes you will get caught, and yes you will be behind bars.

I cannot say this strongly enough. DO NOT SETTLE. Don't let TF get away.

I just want to say that I am willing to give 26.7962 BTC TF shamefully gave me back to person who provide me with TFs identity and picture
My peace offering is that he use same ratio he used on DF and by that calculation he should have sent me 46.48468 Just to remind everybody I had 222.7BTC at time of "Hack". He already knows that.

Do we have any idea of his real life identity? We can get together a bounty?
