No offense taken. I am still involved because it's the best way in the short-term to go forward. I know the site, the code and whole operations. After the investor group take back the site, I will not be involved anymore directly (I may work as a consultant for the service, but that's up to the new management to decide), but for the time being, there is no other way really if we want things to proceed in a timely manner.

Please rest assured that I will not have any access to people's Bitcoins at any point from now on.

What guarantees do you have that I will not dissapear? Well, it's hard for me to imagine such guarantee. One thing is I didn't do it already, even in the event of latest hack, and I'm not going to.

Apart from a professional network manager that is looking in to server security right now, there will be security audits/penetration tests done by independent third party company, as soon as the new site is ready to launch.
