Funds were converted in euro by the account owner at current market prices of those times.
Of course we do have full transaction logs on file.
Thank you
Edit: Last conversion on log was made on: March 02, 2018 15:39
with a btc remaining balance of: 0.00000488 BTC
Yes that is correct, I remember reading about that request to convert to EUR before withdrawal and then when it was blocked I think myself and maybe several others asked if it would be possible to allow Coinfan to withdraw crypto to their wallet as that also would have avoided the whole unfolding of events that occurred in this thread after that request was declined.
Anyway, I am elated that this issue seems to be heading to a conclusion. In the end as long as the OP received their funds then that is paramount as far as I am concerned because going over 3 years without access to funds of that magnitude would seriously affect a lot of people.
I really did not like the way you went about ensuring to make things very difficult for the OP because they opened this scam accusation thread and challenged you and your tactics openly but you should not have created an environment where the OP had no choice but to do it and one where both parties are taking legal action against one another. Hopefully the legal action and court fees that both parties will end up paying money for can still be avoid if both parties decide to end matters and both parties move on but that has to be something only after the OP has received their funds.
I do not know what prompted you to make the decision to transfer the funds to the Arbiter and whether this is the same Arbiter that Coinfan accepts but this is a huge step forward in finally bringing matters to an end.
From now on, euro balance is no longer in our control and disposal.In order to access the funds, there are few options:
1) The account owner may contact us at
[email protected] and request Arbitrator contacts in order to fulfill AML/KYC requirements.
2) A Court of law will require the arbitrator to release funds
3) Any other case prescribed by the law.
On our side, we will publish on a quarterly basis the bank statement received by the arbitrator with the evidence that funds are available.

Of your options the OP currently has to retrieve their funds, I personally am against #1 because I remember suggesting to Coinfan not to send their personal details to you for obvious reasons involving possible revenge and I stand by that and the same would apply to any exchange. If the Arbiter intends to pass on their KYC details directly to you then I would advise the OP against sending their documents.
As far #2 is concerned, if things finally get to Court and a judgement is made for the Arbiter to release the funds with or without the need for the OP to send in KYC documents then that would happen after a lengthy process involving both parties paying legal fees. Also, once the Court case is over it might entail the losing party having to pay the full legal fees of the other party. I would advise both parties against it.
Regarding #3 this seems like a way both parties can settle this issue very quickly.
May I suggest that if Coinfan went to a registered lawyer in their country of residence and that lawyer certified that they have seen the documents (passport, ID card, driver licence, bank statement etc) and can confirm the identity of the OP and sent you an affidavit (a statement legally sworn on oath) revealing only the name, address and bank details (which you already know from when they used their bank account to send funds to your exchange) then would that suffice?
You came a long way to get matters so close to the finishing line, surely you can go one step further. Would you say to the Arbiter that an affidavit by a registered legal professional from the country where the OP resides would be acceptable to you and once that is received by the Arbiter they can forward it you and the Arbiter can send the funds to the OP?
I hope Coinfan will consider this as an option to quickly get their funds back and to close this issue.
