if they were gonna take the money and run they would have stopped withdrawals when the power went off...anyone would know that in a scenario like that there's gonne be a huge chunk of investors that freak out and withdraw as much as they possibly can.
Option 1: Stop withdrawals, he can get some of the payouts that were not moved out
Option 2: Claim that everything is working again and lure people for new money with the cheap KH price. -> would be my choice
Be honest: How many of you will now send some BTC in scrypt.cc's warm und fuzzy wallets to buy some cheap KH?
i think you may forget that they've been operating for almost 18 months now, they have made millions of dollars already. If they cut and run when the power went off they would have made millions more.
You think this is all an elaborate hoax so the site owners can run off with 12 million instead of a measly 8 million???
get real. Either invest or dont
edit - i'm just pulling some numbers of out my ass, the point is they could have made a fortune by taking all our money already rather than pissing around with a bullshit story to make an extra 20% or whatever.
