It appears as the time has come to make a unified community effort to track down and expose CM owners and staff.
If you are one of the many on this site that continually prove your low IQ and personal insecurities by negative comments and flat out abuse – please do not read on or reply.
Many like me have suffered loss from CM not because of ignorance, but because it was the only exchange that offered a market for some coins, and to trade on these required a balance to be deposited.
Sure trading in crypto currencies can be like the lawless wild west, and it will remain that way unless communities pull together to bring the crooks to account.
It seems from the onset that CM has gone to great length to hide and remain anonymous and their resent communications (which are minimal) only appear when there are signs that the community are gaining strength by organising themselves into an effective and possible treat.
I believe there was gentleman in this post that organised a website for posting of news and events for the pursuit of CM but I cannot find it at this time – maybe someone can dig that out and repost.
So as a constructive way forward I propose
• The community establish a reliable hub of verified information (ie website as mentioned)
• Create a registrar for expression of interest in contributing towards a fund to hire investigators and legal team
• I suggest that as is the norm contributors to this fund are first in line to receive what is owed to them from recovered funds, the remaining then available to be distributed to non contributors
• Funds are secured by trust third party escrow service or trust and released as directed by a committee formed from funds contributors
• Action to continue until either
o CM fully operation
o Or CM owners identified and funds recovered
• No misdirection or promise made on behalf of CM will stop this pursuit until CM is fully operational
Suggested action for CM Devs
• Daily communication on CM news site
• Get the site up ASAP
• If you fear for your safety – request protection from the relevant authority
• Have that authority community with this community group for verification
I am not suggesting a lynch mob, just a organised community of affected persons that will put an end to all the mis information and hatred, with the end goal of providing a win / win for CM and its affected customers.
Who will create a simple 'Private Facebook Group' called something like - CoinsMarkets Investors Litigation.
The admin of the group can easily ban any riff-raff that infiltrates, unlike Bitcointalk.
This will cut out the bullshit.
A great idea Isle of Groestl
I think a facebook page combined with a crowdfunding site to keep track of pledges would be a good start.
I suggest that one of the first items the group should be considering is offering a bounty for information on CM owners and staff. They are known - they have lives, friends, probably drink coffee and go to bars - so people know who they are and what they do. A bounty will assist to bring out this information so it can be passed to that countries fraud squad.
