Intersango owes users thousands of bitcoin. Patrick Strateman embezzled 10s of millions of dollars worth of bitcoin from thousands of users. Hundreds are owed 1 BTC or more. He also sold the forked coins of these users.
A co-founder has written up these new revelations, and his struggle to bring them to light in the hopes that people will get their money back. If you or anyone you know used Intersango, please share this with them. Here’s a detailed account of what happened here: paypeoplepatrick d0t com
Never Heard of Intersango before (maybe i am too young for that).. and they don't have much footprint left in internet either. i searched it on google and could only find this link about one Intersango which was supposed to be a crypto exchange
https://bittrust.org/intersango-formerly-britcointhe link also indicates that It was formerly called Britcoin
the post itself doesn't provide many details nor are there any reviews (positive or negative) from any of it's users. the link provided there doesn't work so we can assume it could've scammed thousands of people (only if it had thousands of users) if they scammed millions off dollars of user's money we could've at least heard some news. maybe it was not as hyped as FTX (which scammed $ billions) but still, there has to be some news about their scam.
according to the website you gave this incident happened around 2014.
Intersango was once the second largest bitcoin exchange. Its members were some of the first to ever be interviewed about bitcoin for the wallstreetjournal, newsweek, cncb and so on. Feel free to look at the archive.org page for Intersango and before the site was taken down in 2014, their about us page linked to a lot of the press articles. The site was taken down a year and a half after the registrations were closed and volume slowly died. A website called bitcoincharts.com also tracked early bitcoin exchanges and shows the volume that Intersango had as well as how its volume slowly died down.
After 2014, when the site was taken down, most had already taken off their coins. Tons of people had inactive accounts and so the CTO basically took the site down and stole all the coins from users who had been inactive. There are some people that claim they were scammed but many had no idea and no way to find out. One of the co-founders fought a long legal battle to expose this and the article I linked to is the one that he wrote. This might be an old site but most embezzlement is only found out well after the fact. The evidence is all there and he is just trying to bring it to light and I am helping him.
