Oh wow, I must apologize for what happened here. Seems like after we upgraded to bitcoin core 0.12, this transaction was created by the client but never broadcast to the network, so our wallet was showing this as sent and the money was removed by the wallet client but it was never actually sent.
Going through the email history, the user sent most emails directly rather than use the contact form. As a result of this his account details could not be viewed which happens when the contact form is used. A couple of emails were sent via the contact form but they were pretty unclear and the person handling support emails did reply back asking for more details and a detailed description of the problem, but no answer was received to these emails.
In any case, this was clearly our fault and a big one at that. I have re-sent the payment manually now (

Again, I am really sorry for what happened. Looking at the transactions in the wallet, only this one seems to have been affected in this way, maybe because the transaction was too big or some other reason. Also I have now added an additional step of all payment transactions being validated by a third party block-explorer after they are sent so that this kind of problem never recurs again.
it happen to me once with 55k satoshi , with an "unknown transaction" , not too long ago, i even post here in the fórum , but one or two days later they paid me . That site is very trustworthy . If your transaction is real they'll pay it
Based on the information in the video, this happened last month in early March. And if the accuser is posting about it now, then it (a) did not get resolved, or (b) did get resolved and the accuser is making false accusations. Either way, I would love to see what wetsuit has to say in response.
If my money will come on the wallet, 77 BTC I personally apologize to the entire internet! I will say the kindest words about the site! But until now, the transaction is not known. Support does not answer me. I do not deny that they do not pay! I'm talking about the payment that has not passed

This is what makes FreeBitco.in the best and most reliable faucet around, guys! Kudos to wetsuit for handling this matter promptly after being notified of it.
Ratier, enjoy your new found 77BTC. If I had 77BTC of my money go missing, I would not have been as calm as you, nor would I have waited a month to do something about it lol.
So wetsuit, what happens in instances like this? Is the original 77BTC just lost in Bitcoin space? Did it become permanently orphaned? Is that a cost that you have to eat?
