I think that time really matters now, if we all want to get some of our money back or 'justice to be served'.
Let's be honest the fact he hasn't shared his actual name, made any videos, posted any pictures of his farm even if he said he would.
He didn't keep his paypal account or 'accounts'.
He is not even using a btc processor like BitPay etc. (even butterfly labs did and I got my money back even after 4 months)
The fact that he offers an 8% discount for those who pay in btc, when it is actually the only way to pay him through his website (so that he doesn't bother with sending other coins to exchanges which could be a way of tracking him)
49% discount to turn your profits in shares (however you can't transfer your shares anymore, which is the best way to finish of a ponzi)
ROI 2-3 months
No Blockchain verification (at least I don't know if he is verified)
No public mining addresses and before changing hosting service (at least I don't know any)
He was using WhoIsGuard
http://whois.domaintools.com/ltcgear.com before he moved hosting.
He hasn't responded to most emails, no announcement other the server upgrade even if many other cloudhosting websites-ponzis have collapsed and a few people haven't received anything for weeks.
Exiting during holidays would be a great plan as people want to have fun so the scammers have an excuse for delays etc and many of scammed ones wouldn't bother at such a time.
People who are hoping that because he dealt with paypal, that they will get information about him they should think again about how paypal works and that it is easy to hide yourself. If he stopped using his account because he wasn't verified (that's probably he had low limits) or bought several verified accounts or even used other people accounts (family, friends etc) in order to hide his tracks. etc etcHe stopped his account going to get a lot of information. Also he could give extra coins/money to these people to keep their mouth shut, who probably are already satisfied customers who have gotten their money back and probably more.
If you are able to find any information or track 'Christian' as soon as possible that will be the best. Even if people think that he will return, we could still gather as many information and also create a plan in case he takes our money and runs away. This call is for people that send him money through PayPal (if there is any info) , for people who traded physical miners with him and especially those who send their stuff back to him (if he actually did trade anything), for people who have talked with him over the phone, email accounts other than ltcgear's, any social networks (even a fake account) or even VoIp. People who have received referral payments could share their addresses so that we can see where their payments came from. People who have send him Btc and he still hasn't withdrawn them from the deposit address or people that know any existing mining addresses (even if he is not the owner).
Someone sent me this on reddit :

http://www.colegiimei.ro/Lavinia-Schipor/colegi-146381OK, let's get serious just in case.
Videos: There is a vimeo account so we can see some evidence of his farm or at least his abilities.
Paypal: People did use paypal at some stage, no? However, indeed it could just be registered to the domain and so it will just be a dud of sorts (easy to set up one with no real info if dedicated I am sure).
Blockchain: If you look through the profile beekeeper you will see Bitcoin addresses (I assume on Litecointalk too) and so analysis is possible. Perhaps an IP address might be extracted somewhere.
But now that I see all the info just posted I'm pretty scared to be honest.
