If I were BTER, and if I saw the opportunity to repay all the money, then I would write every day here in the forum on the state of progress.
The public relations, BTER doing now, not trustworthy.
How much time does it need, so that we learn, we have been cheated. A Month? A Year? Three years? The nice thing about us humans, the hope, is also stupid.
Something that what I have seen from every scamming site/scammer, including a trend in altcoins and sites that offer services is that, first they keep people in the hope they will come back and be repaid. And slowly, with excuses, people start believing that they won't be paid, and let the anger dry out ,,and once that is done, they see "Its gone".
