So OP is saying "I don't have your coins because I gave the cold wallet to one of the site's investors".
If it's true, what the fuck? Why would you give the site's cold wallet to anyone? The whole point of a cold wallet is that it keeps the coins safe. Don't give it to anyone, especially not an anonymous stranger you met on a forum!
And if it's false, what? OP still has the coins, is lying about it, and wants to keep them for himself?
So which is it? You gave the invested coins to a stranger, or you stole them? Neither one is acceptable. Did I miss a third possibility?
The big investor could be someone he knew, you don't really know who owned ED
Umm... Hello
He posted he doesnt know investor and he is not able to reach him, he dont even know his phone number or home address
.
If that "investor" even exist.
I wouldn't believe he gave the cold wallet to a random investor
ED posted that :
"
The site was bought in the early days by an investor. As an operator, I got my share from 0.1% wagered amount for maintaining the site and development updates. I have no other option in the beginning since I don't have enough coin to be put as bankroll to the site. I believe it is fair for other people as well because I wasn't an active forum member.
I hold the code and hot wallet, and the investor hold the cold wallet. It is also fair since he already bought the site and I was paid for development and maintenance. This is why we got high investment jumps in the beginning, and you can also see some fractional amount of transfer from hot wallet and cold wallet, and sometime the hot wallet also became so big, because it was said that it is very difficult for him to transfer from the cold wallet to hot wallet, so to keep the withdrawal instant we tried to keep relatively big amount in hot wallet."
I read it again and it says that he sold the website to an early investor and he only got a share of the 0.1%, in that regard it makes sense that the early investor was holding the cold wallet as the owner or partial owner of the website; it is possible that ED didn't know who he was and it is possible that the investor just kept the money although it is very convenient to say "
we got hacked" or "
someone left with the money but not me"
"Until today, I'm still trying to contact the major investor personally but with no luck. I feel devastated and start to feel betrayed. However, this is not the first time I have difficulty in contacting him and I still have faith that he is actually a good person."
