Update about the complaintThe lawyer has sent me the criminal complaint, in the beginning of next week i will go to the local notary office to sign it, the notary will verify my identity and also sign it. After that I will express mail it to the lawyers office.
When the remaining amount of the invoice is payed, he will submit it to the Italian authorities. I will send the BTC to the lawyer immediately, when there is enough funds to cover the remaining amount of the invoice in the wallet.
There is currently 2.80 BTC in the donations wallet, so about 0.94 BTC is still needed to get to the 3.7 BTC target. So to everyone who has not yet donated, now would be a good time to do so.
In case of failure to get the funds with donations, I guess it's up to me to pay the remaining amount of the invoice, after all it is in my name.
I donated 0.12 BTC, and I have put hundred of hours of work in to this case, my economical situation is not very good at the moment, so I would really appreciate your help with this.
About the people who didn't send their information in time, I asked the lawyer about this, here is his answer:
The complaint can be added upon, so new people can join in the future. But for our purpose that doesn't matter a lot, since we are not starting a class action here, but just filing a criminal complaint to Italian authorities for them to investigate and eventually prosecute people behind Labcoin. If a court case will result from investigation, then people could join the case asking for compensation. This maybe should be made clear to the people asking to join, since I feel they have a wrong idea of what we are doing.
I also some times get the feeling that people think this is a class action, that is not the case, this is the first step towards a class action, as I have mentioned
Here and
HereFor a class action, if there is a court case, we are going to need to hire a lawyer again, and collect all the people's information that wants to ask for compensation.
Thank you for your support,
