The recent price decrease was not due to Mintpal XMR being sold. Those are not held by Ryan.
its not held by the original mintpal owners either. they seem to have the wallet but not the key. they say ryan has the key. so 100K xmr are lost?
The key is the only relevant part of the wallet. The rest of the files are irrelevant. The bin file is just a cache of some blockchain data and the address file is just the public address.
If Ryan has the key, then he has the coins. (I don't know if this is the case.)
what i think is that moolah has the "key" to mintpal v2 service. v1 might have had all the wallets and keys along with it but need the v2 data to figure out who traded during v2. for example i bought +200 mills karma in v2. I want to get these coins. v2 will have the data to prove my transactions.
i think they do have the wallets but will cause mayhem if they go by v1 last trades. Which are a month old
