This might be a bit of a stretch but does anyone else think that MintPal's Jason & Jay should be held responsible to some extent? Precautions should have been in place to protect existing users from shit like this. They sold the company in the drop of a hat (along with all our user balances) and there wasn't fuck all any of us could do about it. Their lack of foresight and consideration has costed many of us money.

fund a btc bounty all together..  and hire people to track him down... OR hire a hitman Wink
This is funny there is always rumors that btc is used to launder drug money (or else), but strangely scammers (a nerdy guy usually) seem to always escape easily without too much problem...

Moolah US Chief Landon Merrill: 'no evidence of any wrongdoing by Moolah at this time'

http://www.reddit.com/r/dogecoin/comments/2jn4n6/a_statement_from_landon_merrill/
Landon claims that Alex is in the UK as of yesterday. Maybe the crook is planning to leave the country soon. What can we do to stop him?

did anyone received any coins from MintPal? did they send you any email for confirm the withdraw?

Yes plenty of people have received coins, though seemingly not any BTC. I hadn't logged in since before the v2 release so I had to reset my password, which was by email, but no I didn't have to confirm withdrawal by email. It took a little over 24 hrs to receive my coins, there were some lesser-alts missing which I don't really care about, the rest I received successfully.
Any news about our bitcoin??
They dont work on weekend, but police works everyday haha

They sent my withdrawals this morning (saturday) so someone is up and working at MintPal Smiley
Thankfully I had no BTC on there, I withdrew all the coins I had wallets for last month. Hope all you guys get it back. If we are going to trade coins we have to trust exchanges and at the moment it's hard to do that.
Bad luck for me... i only have BTC in Mintpal

So imagine you are CEO and your company is launching a major exchange...and you decide to go on vacation at the same time..and at least 3,700 BTC goes missing.

'Premeditated'...either Freudian slip or he's basically telling us the truth for once.




Wow..Just Wow. Glad I waited to deposit

I think he has pretty good chances to go to jail in case he scammed user balances of mintpal.

as far as I understood it the situation here is quite different to the one of mtgox.
Do you really think that Kerpeles didn't scam his users? I think that Mark was more elaborate scammer. This Alex guy just made too many mistakes in his scam, the bottom point is - he is a serial scammer.

Can we get a statement from MintPal founders (Jay or Jason) regarding the sale transaction and how it was paid (MintPal's users BTC?) ?
They should be more cooperative. It was their decision to sell the exchange to a scammer and put their users at risk. Moreover, if they were paid from MintPal's users balances that makes them a part of the crime.

+1 (!!)

Well, even if they weren't paid from the balances, it's a shitty situation.

If one can spend say 1000 BTC to acquire an exchange which has 10.000 BTCs in it, they can then use the 10k BTC to nullify the buying costs and then keep 9k BTC for profit. It's insane.

I talked to them on IRC, they said they had in fact sold mintpal to him but didn't provide any more details. Why they sold to some shady scammer? who knows. Maybe they had been hacked and lost money from deposits and wanted to get rid of the hot potato?
This soap opera is getting pretty disgusting. the thief is laughing at you all from Japan now. the "bug" bullshit is so shameful... Gox all over again
Are they still available on IRC? I cannot find them. Maybe we should write to Expedia complaining about Jay if he is refusing to cooperate, because they are partly to blame for this debacle.
First of all, the sale transaction was done in a shady way and users were not given a possibility to withdraw funds in a timely manner - this is MintaPal's founders fault. You cannot just transfer fiduciary duty to an unknown third party without having any liability.
Secondly, after the scam has been revealed they are silent and not willing to be open. Their cooperation can significantly increase the chance of finding the crook and bringing him in front of the justice.
