nope. from what has been read. alot of people invested at the time on avage $1000 each. so then wasting another $1k on flights or a couple $k on investigators, court fee's etc is not in their interest.
Yeah, but since that time, the value has increased by how much? Seven times? Eight times? Your $1000 loss is suddenly a $8000 loss, and it's increasing.
Those who invested directly with Trendon could go after him, but others (hello BitcoinMax) don't have much of a chance when the PPT operators protect Pirate.
I'm sure that someone who would visit Trendon (with a wet fish maybe?) could earn quite an amount. Most here would agree to pay a percentage of any retrieved coins. Rumors talk about around 500,000 coins that were invested. If investors offer to pay "only" 10% that would be 50,000 coins. With the current exchange rate of ~$90, a person could earn $4,500,000 for a face-to-face visit.
He doesn't have 500,000 coins so the calculation is all off. Most would settle for the Dollar value of the coins at the time he went under.
