So.... I'm totally F'd right?
To be completely transparent, we honestly have no idea. We don't know the status of Lin or if BTER will rebound and allow withdrawals again. But the fact that they didn't enable XCR withdrawals for months, even with a new and completely badass client out, makes me wonder if they didn't care because they knew they were going to be running away soon anyways...
With Lins background and wishy washy attitude as of late (he has been completely different in his communications with us in the last 2-3 months) makes me wonder if he didn't just make a money grab.
Only time will tell and we will hope for the best. This is one of the liabilities and risks you take when keeping money in an exchange and sometimes is the cost of doing business in a market like this. From our perspective, I don't know that there is a whole lot we can do to help as we cannot attribute money to accounts at this point to try to fix it. We have actually requested from BTER internal documentation of email addresses and account balances before (during the last BTER fiasco) and they refused to give us the data to allow us to distribute funds.
We are open to ideas and are here to discuss thoughts or ideas, but right now we are at a loss. I mean 65% of our currency was held at BTER so this may be a huge hit for us in general.
