Their trying to shift the blame from themselves to the hackers who were responsible for the attack in the first place instead of coming out and telling everyone in a honest way that their ignorance towards the initial exploits led to the results. Sort of fishy I must say as it took them this long to come up and talk about the matter.
Because by saying that their safe were hacked it will only drove the investors away from their website, so they decided just to shut their mouth and tell nobody about it, but even with their effort they still failed and now they are probably running away from their responsibility along with their investor's money
exactly, @WENGER -- you are spot on.
By deceiving users about the years-old problem, Paul Vernon a. k. a. "BigVern" is guilty of criminal bankruptcy -- on top of full personal (civil) liability for running a bankrupt company, for which the corporate veil will be pierced in any court of law and all his personal assets apprehended to settle his debts to users who have their coins "frozen" inside the Cryptsy train-wreck.
Yes, the guy lied to me and to all other users. If he returns our BTC funds, then no harm would be done and this thing would be settled. To save his neck, he should make up for the requested withdrawal amounts from his own BTC and LTC holdings. (Let us assume for the time being, that these are **not** identical to that earlier grab...?) To get our money back, it would be best for Paul Vernon to stay out of jail and be able and co-operate with settlement of those frozen balances. If he doesn't -- and soon -- then we will see our lawyers and force him to comply.
It would still be preferable for a takeover to materialize so someone more competent could continue Cryptsy -- which I'd personally love using for my trading in the future, I liked that outfit when it worked -- instead of going through all the hassle of a forced liquidation (with risk of significant loss to all creditors) and investigating Paul Vernon's blockchain-stored assets in order to apprehend the supposed lion's share of his true net worth...
@teddy5145 -- no, absolutely NOT: this is called covering up a bankruptcy. No matter what your "reasons" are for averting a bank-run or similar, a business person must file for bankruptcy the moment they become aware of it -- which in Paul Vernon's case was 2+ years ago, but he even deliberately kept lying to me and other users stating that this was a "temporary delay" and was "because of [certain recent] attacks" in order to keep us in the dark or even keep us depositing more trading capital into Cryptsy.
THIS is what Mr Vernon is (personally) liable for in Civil Law. It is up to himself to pay us back SOON in order to prevent people from filing criminal charges on top!
