Here's my theory:
At some point in 2015, after his interaction with me, Tim realized he could simply deny redemption on any 2FA coin that had been resold, as the new owners would not have access to the original email/password associated with the coin, and may not even have known the coin was 2FA, like me. I would have essentially no recourse other than criminal/civil court action, and at that time 1BTC was only $400 so it wasn't worth really even worth going to court across state lines for a small claim... I suspect he spent the bitcoin that was behind the coin that I owned, if there ever was one, after he denied redemption to me.
For reference, the coin I hold still shows as "not yet funded":
https://www.titanbtc.com/verify/vFZKfWyJ/Eventually he needed money to pay for medical or whatever, and he started cashing out and spending all the bitcoin associated with 2FA coins, and stopped doing 2FA coin redemptions. He was probably sitting on millions of dollars worth of btc for those 2FA coins that might never even be redeemed, and he figured he could run a fractional reserve, or he just got greedy and took it all. The temptation of sitting on millions of dollars of btc while he had personal bills that needed to be paid was probably just too much for him, I think. Maybe he had it in an exchange account and he was trading with it and finally the recent downturn in price busted his fractional reserve scam. It's hard to tell.
This is not a matter for small claims court, any longer. It might have been in 2015, but now Tim owes me personally around $30k. I mean he's avoiding a guy with 15 BTC locked up in 2FA coins, that's like $1M at the top of the last peak. I think it's only a matter of time until the police and/or the feds get involved now, this is turning into a large-scale scam, maybe one of the largest scams ever on this site, with many victims, me included.
Can Tim prove that all the 2FA coins are still "funded"? Can he prove the private key tokens are still funded? Shouldn't there be a list of all the public addresses so you can verify that info? Can he prove that the coin I hold was ever "funded/redeemed" as he claims, even though his website, still, in 2022, says it is "not yet funded"?
Honestly I hope this doesn't ruin Tim's life and he finds a way to make all the coin holders whole again, and I hope his health recovers too. Cheers all.
