Anyone in the same situation claimed those last minute fiat deposits not reflected in the balance? Was your claim approved or rejected? Would like to know.
Hey, at least you're not this guy -
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.5264331There's risk, and then there's... I'm not totally sure if there's a word for this particular example.
I remember the brewing disbelief at the time and more than a few people claiming it was 'too big to fail'. If only.
Yeah, I had heard about TheKoziTwo doing that lol
No, IIRC in the end I only sent like $800 (which could have bought me another 5 or 6 BTC). Considered sending (not much) more but finally decided to go for an amount I could perfectly (a bit annoying as each and every lost) see gone. I saw an "opportunity" and tried to catch it.
Who knows maybe for the TheKoziTwo that amount was the equivalent of the $800 for me.
I still think it was a reasonable bet to make with the information I had at that moment. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
P.S.: Did TheKoziTwo had his claim approved? Considering the amount I am sure he at least claimed and fight for it to be recognised.
P.S.2: I see it was an OkPay transfer so maybe:
- He could claim it to OkPay.
- or it was reflected in MtGox balance, in which case he will probably recover the full ammount plus a nice yearly 6% interest (over five fucking years!)
- or maybe he even had time to buy BTC at those lower prices and even at 20-25% he made a good chunk.
So maybe in this case "being that guy" is not that bad in the end
