I'm in -  419.51475852 - unless I manage to settle with TF, and seeing as there's been no reply in 2 weeks...

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.

Screenshots do not prove much. They are easy to fake.
#They could be combined with http://www.proofofexistence.com/ but that site hasn't adjusted its fees to the rising bitcoin price and is very expensive now.
And even this would solve only a part of the problem.

I still have a little little hope left, tradefortress will settle this without us going trough legal steps because the sites are still up and show user balances.

I've already taken a screenshot just in case, but you're absolutely right that it's easy to fake.  I could save an HTML file of that page, but if anything, that'd be easier to fake than the screenshot itself.  It's about all I can do though.

I'm in, 592 BTC, all deposited after the hacking, from Oct.30 to Nov. 3. I don't believe he has spent the money.

Can I suggest that those who have coins in coinlenders may want to take screenshots or find other proof of their investments, just in case the site goes dark?

I think this is very unlikely now. Since this happened I've had faith of at least getting something back. The fact TF hasn't been seen for days says a lot.

A few people have talked to him recently. Progress has been made, TradeFortress finally filed a police report.

Yeah I saw that, have we seen confirmation?

It would be nice if him to come on here and let us know that Gris still trying to sort things out though.

If you're reading this TF at least let us know your safe and well.  Grin

It'd be nice if we got our coins back before or on Bitcoin Friday tomorrow!

Goodluck ace.. that's all I can say.

I admit I shouldn't have trusted TF or CL, I really thought I had done my research... but now it seems as if I found only what I was meant to. As if by design.

No xbox for me, but escalating costs relating to my health. BTC was my shot to pay for the insane expenses of medical woes. I could never have done it with my bank. I was only mm away from achieving it. But that chance has been stolen away.

I feel for anyone and everyone who saw this bringing them a truly brighter future and not just play money.

Im sure there are people very badly affected.

If he only has 1540 btc no one will be getting 75% refund...

Or maybe the lucky few who email him at the right time...
Many people settled with him already for a 75%+ loss. That should leave more BTC for those who are patient.

And there is a news:
TF said to a china newspaper he will refund 40%-75% to victims with his 1540 btc.
It was publiced in 11/26.
I think it is his another one of his lies.
You can choose told her or not...
here is link:
http://news.ifeng.com/shendu/ndzk/detail_2013_11/26/31574319_0.shtml

-----------------
...不过TradeFortress表示,他打算用自己积攒的比特币和没有被盗的比特币来偿还用户的损失。“我现在总共有1540枚比特币,虽然没办法全额赔偿用户损失,但每个人将得到40%到75%不等的赔偿。...
==>
... But TF said, he will use CL and Inputs's remain and his own to refund. "I have 1540 btc total. ppl could get a refund from 40% to 75%. " ...
