Looks like it is probably getting about time to kiss whatever we haven't gotten back goodbye! BTC-Arbs responses are now measured in weeks. At today's exchange rates, I have gotten back less than $20 (out of 2.3 BTC). That is not even worth the time I have WASTED monitoring this thread!
It's been really bad as the months have dragged on. I can't help but feel that he's doing JUST ENOUGH to keep the dogs at bay, but not enough to ever really make everyone whole...hoping, perhaps, that someday people just forget about it.
I'm still owed 19.45 BTC though, so I for one won't be forgetting about this debt any time soon.
