From CablePair in Oct '12:
How much you want to bet the "investor" took no loss on this business venture and was paid back his investment before customers were paid back their money. If there was really an investor and they weren't stupid they probably had a contract written up and it said something like, "If Tom is an idiot and can't get this done I have recourse to get my money back from his hide." Maybe he even put his house up.
i am under the impression this is what Agath did... he had a written contract -Tom knew he goose would be cooked faster than shit, if he didnt refund this guy.
And a family of six ate goose and other delicacies while those wanting for a refund eat spam.
Then Tom cant make excuse of "having to buy back at $30" as you said USD amount doesnt change.
What can we expect from the lowlife scum tho.....

Damn! I owe this guy $1,000 and have to pay him back with BTC which has increased in valued since his pre-order date. This sucks!
Now, I'm only goin' to state this one last time. Follow the coins. There was a big chunk of BTC still available when Tom quite paying out refunds in Jan/early Feb(?). Then he started to move those funds. I've traced a few of them to wallets with 10K+ coins in them sitting idle.
