Why don't you put your money where your overused mouth is, and file an injunction against Bitfloor to stop these shameful, illegal actions?

Better still, why don't you sue me and try to claw back some USD that were never yours and always mine? 

My guess is you know you have zero, zip, zilch, nada chance of success but just can't bring yourself to admit that you were 100% wrong.

I'm not going to sue anyone because I didn't lose anything. I realize this idea may simple be too complicated for you to grasp - but it is possible to think and reason about things that aren't actually happening directly to me.

Talking to you is like playing hide-and-go-seek with a very young child who thinks that because they he can't see anyone else, nobody can see him, either.

Here's the deal: it doesn't actually work that way. Not with hide-and-seek, and not with facts or law.

Your "reasoning" (which has the same relationship to actual thinking as mud pies do to apple pies) seems to spring from one source: your own self-interest. You want the USD back that you had deposited at Bitfloor so you could exchange it for some worthless experimental imaginary internet nerd tokens. Accordingly, any possible facts or ideas which might get in the way of YOU getting what YOU wanted, RIGHT NOW, are to be rejected as communist tricks; and any formulation of words, no matter how ridiculous, which apparently supports you getting what you want is celebrated as "common sense" or "common decency".

(And I'm sure your ideas about "common sense" and "common law" would have dictated an opposite result, in the event that you had BTC on deposit instead of USD.)

What happens or doesn't happen to Bitfloor has zero impact on my finances because I do not leave significant funds (in whatever currency) on "deposit" with online exchanges.

I had approximately 11 cents at Bitfloor at the time of the hack, left over from an exchange transaction - I don't remember if it was BTC or USD, and don't really care either way.

So when I write something about Bitfloor, it's not because I'm panicked that I exchanged my last funds on this earth for "experimental imaginary internet nerd tokens" that were stolen - or because I'm elated because it turns out that I can get my USD back since my money hadn't been exchanged yet.

I realize that you're excited that you were able to access a web page that led you to believe you'll get an ACH/wire transfer in a few days. That's good news for you. I can see you feel like a winner. And I can see that you think that since you're a winner, everyone who you don't like is a loser.

So go ahead. Run with that. Celebrate. You win!
