Since payb.tc/E&G has decided to abandon his BitcoinMax thread and doesn't reply to a PM anymore I finally decided to open a thread.

I think most would agree that Pirate won't return any coin to the investors and I'm aware that payb.tc/E&G said that in case of a Pirate default there won't be any more withdrawals.

However, a few (like myself) had requested Bitcoins before the default; requests which have been ignored so far.

In the past, payb.tc/E&G had been quite vocal about the issue, boldly stating that it's only his business to take care of the Pirate issue by denying investors the option to attempt to settle with Pirate.
When it turned out that Pirate has quite an experience as a scammer and that he won't give in to threats on the Internet things got pretty quiet; just like those who threatened/promised to do everything to get the coins back.
