BTCLend is a SCAM!!!!

"Customer Support" for BTClendtalk.org has been offline for at least a week, but the primary BTCLend.org site is still active

There were all kinds of warning signs on the forums pointing towards SCAM

I personally have Bitcoin stuck in my BTCLend wallet from a loan I had funded - I cannot withdraw it and I cannot repay the lender. It is just sitting there. I know many other users have been having withdrawal issues for the past month or so, but the situation with BTCLend itself has completely imploded onto itself within the past week.

I can't believe there aren't ANY posts here on the forums about this SCAM lending website. I am by no means a long-time BTCLend user, hopefully someone who has more experience with BTCLend can chime in.

What can we do? Is everyone who used BTCLend just screwed? Is there anyway to legally go after the CEO? It is fairly common knowledge who he is, but I will refrain from identifying him myself and leave that to others if they so choose.....

Surprise, surprise... I do believe opining about this "business" a while back...

I have been finding all kinds of dirt on BTCLend, including the links you posted. It is obvious there were warning signs for quite some time. I am just surprised there is not a more accessible and visible active discussion about the recent and current events at BTCLend. With a Google search a lot of this stuff was a little buried.

I am definitely not the person who should be leading this discussion, but hopefully I can at least start a dialogue here....

Is there any legal recourse? Are we all just screwed?
