Tronlet: Many good points. Since I don't have data about the site, I have no idea how many users there are on this service.
At least there's one very outspoken member of the community on this thread claiming he has 100 BTC outstanding, and that he has screenshots of everything, why could not people like that be helped at the very least ?
Also, no police report number ?
And at one point they claim that bitcoins are stolen, yet later they claim everybody's bitcoins are safe. Which is it ?
Maybe once the claims process is opened they will be helped, and perhaps faster than others since the 90 day period is only for the sub-50 BTC ones.
Also, Instawallet might be planning on replenishing the stolen ones out of their own pocket, or maybe they were just talking about bitcoin-central. Realistically, as long as a small number of coins were stolen, all wallets should be able to be reimbursed, due to the number of wallets that will never be claimed.
On the lack of a police report number, they could just not want to make such a thing public, but especially their lack of even an explanation for a lack of a police report number makes this the point where I kind of cross over from trying to provide valid defenses, to just playing devil's advocate.
Boussac, seriously. At least acknowledge the requests for a police report number?
Apologies if you have, I haven't read every post.Edit: Now I have.
Also, I should note that I still am not too worried about Instawallet, just because they are doing poorly in one area of dealing with this does not necessarily mean they are fully lying.
