Just one scammer..

I remember in early October I tried to draw out all my coins and they didn't show up In my inputs account, I waited all day because I remember him saying larger deposits take longer.. Still no coins.. So emailed TF and he had to manually transfer it.. This makes me question the hot pocket because if there was a large amount in there they should of come out automatically..
So maybe there really was another account what held all our coins seeing as our numbers don't match up with the stolen coins..

If TF|吴泽岳 didn't stole the 4000 bitcoins.
Then the thief might be a man he trusted.
He could be his classmate, friend, one of his family members who can use his mobile phone.

There is no a "hacker", just a thief.
Maybe two thieves, bcz TF|吴泽岳 had stolen 1000+ bitcoins which deposited by innocent ppl after 10/23.

Interesting developments:

I emailed Tf today and advised him that if he did not report that a crime had been committed to Australian Law Enforcement within 48hrs. that I would do so.
It was a surprise to me but he responded promptly that he would do so and followed up with a reference number filed with NSW police. Of course a group of us will follow up on this to make sure law enforcement follows through on all aspects!


Any Update?

TradeFortress has to pay his debitors

Some of us informed about the situation to the law enforcement. As I understand, all this process could take quite long to get clear and informing the police, letting them know what we know, will help all us along. Including Tradefortress if he´s honest. For the moment I don´t know if such a young boy is able to do such a big scam. I keep the hope that maybe he has good intentions but somebody else around him could have cheated him. If that´s the case maybe at some point police could catch him and partially solve some of this fiasco.

By the way, TF came to the forums recently. Did anybody receive any further communication from him?

Is this lawsuit actually still happening?  I read several pages ago in the thread that Australian litigation funders aren't likely to fund this given the circumstances of what happened.  So unless someone finds another law firm willing to take it on either pro bono or contingency (which apparently Australian firms don't do), it doesn't sound the suit's going to happen unless someone wealthy decides to go ahead and fund it. 

I think the general consensus was that we needed a criminal charges to go through before a civil suit.

Thanks again for all you guys, Gaston909, Dwdoc, Johnharmer, Mtdox... for your help and collaboration. If I get something of my deposits back, I'll try to show you my gratefulness.

I too will try to show my gratefulness if I'm able to get my BTC back. Thanks again guys, all your efforts are much appreciated.

TradeFortress has to pay his debitors
November 29, 2013, 01:23:28 PM
I'm still in. 226.17055261 BTC in coinlenders (interest included).

The total interest amount should be around 3 BTC but I'm not sure about that. I tried to contact TF many times telling him that I'd like to get about 7000 EUR worth in BTC and the remaining amount could sit there for maybe more than 6 months... No answer.

I hope we hear something else from him soon. I also suspect we have been victims of some kind of fraud, nevertheless the facts that coinlenders.com is still running and that TF finally reported the hack to the police, make me feel like there is still some hope for us to recover some significant % of our deposits. Some of coinlenders assets may have get a significant reduction, but in the last days asicminer shares increased a bit their value as far as I know.

I hope the police could get TF and he collaborates honestly with them.

At any case, the lawsuit is still an interesting option in my opinion.

This is being a life-changing experience for many of us, let's hope for the best possible solution.

Thanks again for all you guys, Gaston909, Dwdoc, Johnharmer, Mtdox... for your help and collaboration. If I get something of my deposits back, I'll try to show you my gratefulness.

It seems the penny has finally dropped.

I have had a large % of depositors coming forward recently, who have realised TF is sitting on many 1000 coins, offering no refunds and absolutely minimal communication. (No Log ins to bitcointalk as well, very odd behaviour for TF)

People will not accept that some people got 100%, and most people got 0%.

Hang in there folks.

Is there a place we're aggregating everything we've heard from TradeFortress up until now?

I thought we were being pretty patient, but his one-on-one communication with people is really, really annoying.  Just write something on the Coinlenders page.

I am interested. I tried to send a PM to gaston909 but keep getting the error message "The last posting from your IP was less than 360 seconds ago. Please try again later.", even though I haven't posted anything today.
The website counts a login as a post.

That makes sense, thanks. I wasn't aware of this.

Wow, good find! Certainly hope this is true. I can live with a 75% refund.

He said the same thing in the Sydney Morning Herald interview but it doesn't really mean much.

An Australian Federal Police spokesman was quoted in the ABC interview.

Quote
A spokesman for the Australian Federal Police says to his knowledge, a theft of bitcoins has never been investigated at either a federal or state level.

But he says if it was reported, it would be treated like any other theft.

Yes, you are right.
some reporter in china just translated a old news, then published it in 11/26.
Sorry for wasting everybody's time.
