Dude how about answering my post? You've been online for the last 1,5 hours now and been reading the forum, also managed to answer that post just after mine. Don't hide behind that hide-online-status flag you toggled during the shitstorm, we still know you're there. An answer would be highly expected.
It seems very clear at this point that Giga does not think that it is legally or economically safe to do what you are asking him to do. Why is asking him harder going to help?
Are you arguing that it's ok to borrow something from someone promising to use it in a certain way, then change how you're using it while simultaneously refusing to give it back?
If I made an agreement with you to care for 10 of my cows, then you decided that instead of feeding them you were going to slaughter them instead. Do I not have the right to ask for my cows back? What if all the paperwork wasn't quite in order... I forgot to hand over my ID and Passport and SSN and Official Seal and Stamp of Approval and My Firstborn... but I still have a signed contract. Have I given up the right to my cows?
As for the illegality, that's a stretch. When exactly is it illegal to give someone back their belongings? Have you ever heard that it's illegal to return someone's belongings? Even if it's a complete stranger? Let's do another analogy.
You're on a street corner, you have a lighter, the guy next to you asks to borrow it, says he needs it to light his cig. You give it to him, he lights his cig, then throws it on the ground and is about to stomp on it. Do you have the right to ask for it back? (yes) And if so, is it illegal for the guy to give it back? (no)
Bitcoin is a commodity. It's a person's "stuff". Giga promised to use your stuff one way, and is now reneging on that agreement. It's fairly clear to me that you have the right to ask for your stuff back.
