Yes. Everything he has done has served to reduce our trust in him. If he's legitimate then he *literally* couldn't have handled this worse.
Communicating through Reddit and twitter on an completely ad hoc basis? No formal information, no corroborating evidence, contradictory statements and a profound lack of action? What a disgrace. If he isn't a scammer he is doing his best impersonation of one.
Now, because of his incompetence hundreds of people (myself included) have filed complaints to the Bremen Kriminalpolitzi which means the money will be tied up forever. I couldn't let this charade carry on any longer. 48 hours of no communication shows a complete disregard for the situation.
That's if there's any money left in the account, anyway. I sincerely believe he has lost thousands and thousands of BTC through the bug and was trying to cover his losses through the increasing value of BTC.
