Don't know much about this situation, but I just hope it does not end up like the shakaru situation.
If you are not aware of that it, he pretty much stole $20000, but because he promised to pay it all back, everyone thought he was such a good guy and no way he could be a scammer. By paying back 40BTC he was able to stay around and scam people out of several 100BTC more. Always coming up with amazing excuses...

lose your wallet, you're a scammer.
get scammed by dwolla? you must be a scammer
bank freezes your account... d'oh now you're a scammer.
dog eats your backups... oh shit you must be a scammer.

I would only call scammer someone that deliberately tries to defraud someone else. Tradehill got screwed by Dwolla and the state/banks. He didn't defraud anyone.
He has done a good service to the bitcoin community AFAIK. The simple fact that he's trying to honor his debts also show he's an honest person.
I understand it's not nice at all to have your money stuck somewhere, but compared to what Jared lost, this "time lost" of yours is not that significant, IMHO.
Sorry man. Until the last person gets their money/btc, he's a scammer.
If she floats, she's a witch.

Do you guys have any idea of the scale TradeHill was running at? They had at least several hundred thousand accounts, based on the referral codes I've seen. Now, imagine having to lay off your entire staff that was already overworked with the daily running of the business, and then having handle all of the payouts by yourself.
It could seriously take all year.

Seconded.
Anyone who thinks a major exchange's laundry is done as easily as your own has never run a business before.
I also wonder if there are people here who somehow than that Jered operated Tradehill in his own name out of his garage or something. He technically could just file TRADEHILL for bankruptcy and be done with it.

You guys need to relax already. Jered seems like he's doing the best to pay people back as best he can. Be thankful that he's not pulling a Chris Mallick on you.
Or another shakaru

"I will mail your check out today". - actually happened 2 months later, after many reminders, and only when a forum post happened.
Ah the "checks in the mail" yet another classic recycled for bitcoin.
Here's is good on his word.

Step #15
Decide which legal entity this claim is against? Jered or Tradehill?

(Step 1 was talk to a lawyer, by the way. They'll know the correct steps to follow.)

UPDATE: Resolved. Please ignore this thread.
Only after sh** hits the fan, after a month of requests, does Jered periodically come out of the woods, pays one or two guys, and disappears.
