Thanks for all these updates you've been making on the thread. Much Appreciated.

I feel like at the time I got most of my altcoins out and I do see a BTC withdrawal the day before I think they were taken offline, but I don't know if it was all of my BTC or if I maybe had more. Have they been able to verify balances by date and time of withdrawals or anything? Maybe I'd have to find whatever old wallet I may have withdrawn to and find the tx hash? Pretty sure Mintpal was dumb and didn't include the hash or addresses in email withdrawal confirmations.

I'm not sure if they have database backups. Did Kennedy wipe the database? Does anyone know if they have backups of old snapshots?

The progress report's available now.

They now have £15381452, but it's £14689082 after legal fees.

They found 8.3 bitcoins, which they sold for £392175.

They estimate the liquidation will take 18-24 months to complete.

I did a bit of blockchain sleuthing and discovered a few sizeable DOGE balances that haven't moved since 2016, before Ryan Kennedy's arrest. Am keeping an eye on them as Kennedy was released from prison last year. There's a Reddit thread about it but the most definitive online proof he is out is that old moolah_io tweets redirect to an account named @eccentric ninja

For example:

https://twitter.com/moolah_io/status/461518092162842625

Here is his 'comeback' tweet:

And another one from around the same time:

Kind of unspectacular posting history that ends in Sept 2021. I get the feeling that he was being contacted by a lot of people he ripped off and ditched his account knowing he could never shake his old reputation from it. My gut feeling is he's definitely out there cooking something new up as people like him never "get better."

Has there been any update on Bitcoin or Dash being recovered in the last several months?

Not that I know of.

Keep checking for a new progress report here.

https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/09009856/filing-history

They usually produce one in early July every year.

Amazing, cheers.

Wow!! Thank you for this. Sadly no dogecoin yet.

Apply to be a non-preferential creditor if you can prove you had doge there.

Judging by the eth sale I doubt they will directly return coins to creditors. They will probably sell them and return cash instead.

Page 12 of the insolvency/liquidators annual progress report from 26/04/2016 contains a form for letting the liquidator know what you are owed. This is the link to it.

https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/09009856/filing-history/MzE1MzA3NzYyNWFkaXF6a2N4/document?format=pdf&download=0

According to this filing on 28 January 2021 the insolvency/liquidator's registered office address changed to

Liam Alexander Short,
Elwell Watchorn & Saxton Llp,
8 Warren Park Way,
Enderby,
Leicester,
LE19 4SA.

https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/09009856/filing-history/MzI4OTU3ODUwM2FkaXF6a2N4/document?format=pdf&download=0

I assume you would send the form there.

Hey bro idk if you can help but i had my dogecoin on moolah and like this is the transaction, do you have any idea if thts a wallet linked to moolah https://blockchair.com/dogecoin/transaction/6941fb2429542aea31b67d1dfcf9d5743e2d3a13d6cd65ee467f329ffe00fbac

Sorry, I don't know if that's one of their wallets. If you have screenshots, or some other proof of your deposit it might be worth sending that form off.

The liquidator released another progress report on 05 Jul 2021.

Page 6 says they recovered 16100 ethereum, and 16100 ethereum classic. They sold the ethereum for £14,799,706, and the ethereum classic for £115,506.

Regarding non-preferential creditors, page 7 says this

Quote

To date we have not taken any steps to formally admit creditors claims. However, it is anticipated that a distribution will be made to creditors.

This is the liquidator's progress report.

Yes it seems like they aren't pursuing anymore. Here is the wallet where my dogecoin, and may other people's from MOOLAH went. https://blockchair.com/dogecoin/address/DTvwqKryAZXTFFobK8jBS4KKzQ5CYEiP4D

The balance transactions from seven years ago total: 323,652,980 DOGE

Thanks for the reply! I finally got an email with the application to sign up as a creditor --- yesterday!

Is there any info on the status of Greene? I take it he is still imprisoned for rape?

I'm hoping that the creditors are people who owned other BTC at the time and who now have
the means to keep tabs on Greene and pursue charges and coin recovery once he gets out. We're talking
about a large value, it seems there is clear evidence he took the coins.

Is there a statue of limitations that applies here?

Have the police monitored his communications with the outside world, or has he been allowed to,
say, send private messages with blockchain addresses which could allow others to move the 4K BTC
elsewhere?

Let's keep this issue alive, this is not someone who should be allowed to walk free with no liability for
a quarter Billion $ worth of stolen currency ...

Please help! I had 1.46 millioin dogecoin and am trying to figure out who to contact to make a claim for it!

Does anyone have any updates on this saga?

The story seems to have gone dark after Kennedy was imprisoned for rape,
but the coins he stole are now worth almost $250 Million USD and he is still potentially liable for the theft.

I'd like to hear from anyone who knows what is going on; I've emailed the various law enforcement contacts
found listed in the threads over the years, to no avail.

Thanks for any info, I'm willing to offer a nice bounty to get my coins back!

Still getting occasional progress report letter from the liquidator saying they're working on it, last I knew there were only between 30-40 verified creditors that were owed on the list... I'm fairly certain in typical lawyer fashion they're just dragging their feet at this point to run up their cut of the funds if they eventually recover anything
