This is crazy... What is intersangos motivation for dealing with this anyway? I wish we knew their motivation. If we did we might understand this craziness. They should know better.
As I have made painfully clear before Intersango IS NOT INVOLVED IN BITCOINICA IN ANYWAY.
Anybody saying Intersango LTD is a partner in Bitcoinica LP IS LYING.
My personal motivation here is to help people get back most of their funds, really the only chance you all have of getting your funds back is me.
So how about some fucking respect.
I could have easily passed this all off onto zhou and I'm sure he would have paid only the larger claims before running out of funds.
Does that sound fair?
You think you and your team are owed respect for the way you have dealt with this? That might be were the problems started...
I do not care what the Intersango team wants to call bitconica now. We know who is claiming to be in control.
As for your quote "100% of my time and effort is donation."
Then quit and let the people who are legally responsible deal with it, at this point it can't get worse.
Just say this, Sorry bitcoin public but it has been two months and we just now realized we are not complainant enough to deal with the problem we took on. Since it is not our responsibility and it is only destroying our personal reputation and the reputation of Intersango we will give back all of the money to the real owners of Bitcoinica.
However I'm pretty sure you can't do this, too bad for you and us really. There is no way you guys can walk out of this with your heads up and there is no customer (other than the friends of Intersango team who got back 100% so far) who can be happy with your actions.
There is no win here for anyone, even if you were to return 100% of the coin to everyone tomorrow this will not be forgotten.
Good luck.
I've quoted this so you guys can read it again. This is some of the best advice on this thread.
Your reputation as developers, business owners and in general is going down the shitter for a problem that you aren't responsible for (or at least claim so).
