I really can't fathom a valid excuse for this course of action.

I got an e-mail saying I was paid 90% of my BTC in GLBSE, but i got nothing back. Nefario, if you read this, it would be good to send a transaction link or ID along with that e-mail so we could confirm it.
I hope the support e-mail comes up soon so we can solve this.

Funny, because I received the BTC with no email. Maybe they were someone else's and the amount was about right by chance, I wouldn't be that much surprised at this point.
Um, y'all should probably check out the thread in the Securities forum. Nefario fucked up badly and paid some people twice.

According to that bitcoin magazine article: http://bitcoinmagazine.net/interview-with-glbses-nefario/ , Nefario was going to start returning funds. Has anyone received their BTC back yet? Or is there a thread already dedicated to that topic?

I got my BTC back. No communication about shares recovery, though.

Has anyone heard anything about an exception process for these that cannot log in?
I have been unable to log in using my username or email, and the account reset link is returning an Internal Server Error message.
I've sent an email to [email protected], but have not received a response yet.
Help!

Nothing returned yet, no reply from their email.
More importantly how are we going to get our shares returned?

Hopefully a balance will be sent to both asset holders and issuers. At that point, asset holders will need to contact the issuers directly and see what their plans are. Some will move exchanges and try to re-establish, some with wind-down, some may say "kiss me" and other might do thinks like go pink-sheet. That will really be up to the issuer, but until people can get a closing balance, it makes that prospect almost impossible with major risk to both parties.

Hopefully the website will be brought back up with trading and deposits disabled, so people can go in and withdrawal BTC and have an up-to-date account of securities. It would be best for users that way. Sending a bunch of emails requesting deposit addresses sounds much more likely to lead to trouble.
That is quite logical but if it is believe that he was told to shutdown immediately with no return, that might break terms of any deal he has.
What likely will happen if Nefario is acting in "good faith", he will get the information he request, send all deposit back to their owners with asset position information and send last price and asset holders to the issuers and then announce that the GBLSE has been wound-down and then at the point, people would need to contact the issuers directly and see what the plans are from each issuer.

Nobody...
October 09, 2012, 09:07:35 AM
Has anyone been contacted or refunded? Not me.
October 09, 2012, 08:59:03 AM
Think I have dividends in there that I need returning, only a small amount.
That said, I think I have a little faith that Nefario will return what is owed to people - call be stupid, call be an idiot, but believe in giving people the chance to do the right thing - so I will wait patiently whilst it all unfolds one way or another.

I guess it would be refreshing for people to get their funds back from a service for a change...

I hope Nefario returns our BTC soon. I've got some in there. Will be watching this thread daily. thanks all.

I also heard from Garr in irc that he spoke to Nefario and that the funds would start being returned today. It is 8 PM in London right now. I am not sure what later today means then.
In bitcoinland the rate at which funds "intends" to be returned tends to be inversely proportional at the rate at which those funds are actually returned. And this is without mentioning that the actual devolution of funds use to be a function tending at zero...

GLBSE also states now:

GBLSE uses bitcoins... so has nothing to do with america for the part of money laundering, unless they received dollars direct to the GBLSE site.
...
either way FIAT was not dealt with so US or UK wont care..

If Americans were sending funds (value in the form of btc, not fiat), the SEC will care. If Americans were or complain about being scammed, they will care. If unregulated securities were being marketed and sold to Americans, they will care.
You (or I) might disagree with them about if their jurisdiction or interest in this matter, but that won't stop them from acting or supporting their counterparts in the UK or elsewhere in action.
And they'll be able to sell their involvement pretty easily to most people with the 'terrorism' word (which seems pretty nutty to me) or money laundering concerns (more plausible).
I don't like this any more than you do, but the idea that the US, UK, or other nations won't intervene or care is likely wrong.

The phone number is correct. I know because I just gave him a call (
), and he said users funds will be available ~six hours after he wakes up.

Let's see if there's any further information goes up about claiming funds in the next 12 hours or so.
Hummm... sounds like Nefario's in a deep sleep mode...
Well, I'm not too worried after all I didn't have much in GLBSE and knew it was risky business.
If, on the other hand, I was Mr. James McCarthy... had my personal details splattered on the web after running away with a few thousand BTC... then maybe I wouldn't be able to sleep, coz someone might come-a-knockin...
