Re: NEM (XEM) Official Thread - 100% New Code - Easy To Use APIs
Hello good day,
I am JAMTHIRTEEN and this letter is in reference to a claim I made on NEM forum sometime ago. I reported a situation to this platform about how we were being cheated out of our rights but no steps were taken to remedy the situation.
We are three friends that work together in the same place, and because we believed in this idea, we all decided to create accounts on the platform, we did the registrations at our office, the same location. We were aware of the house rule that states that a member cannot own more than one stake, and can only get another for a loved one. None of us flouted that rule because we understood why the rule was put up. So we all took care and ensured that we abided by this rule, two of us opened an account each, and also opened one each for our partners, the third only created an account for himself. We followed the rule to the letter. The BTT accounts in question are:
JAMTHIRTEEN: NBXVHA-S2TOYM-H4GFFO-V3SGIN-SP6DLT-HERCMK-RBN3
MAMEN (JAMTHIRTEENs partner): NBKEYS-BJB74B-5M7Q4Z-Y6N5AZ-JPDUY7-5T7UHZ-VINH
JERJU80: NC7IWM-24KC6K-BT7SH2-2VOESS-QNGCTA-CSDKZT-CK72
SANDRAMABE (JERJU80s partner): NC2V53-WKYFCC-MKETYL-M3IXHJ-VF3HJZ-B4IHTC-LQDZ
OSCARVENEGAS: NC7545-ULAZAR-5CEWIU-R3H5R6-6Z6SGH-XP64NX-JNUY
It therefore came as a surprise to us when the administrators decided to only give SANDRAMABE her stake and deny the rest of us ours; they claimed that only one person opened all five accounts; and that was after coming up with a new rule that made separate accounts registered on the same IP address invalid. This was surprising to us as each of us are different persons and if it was made clear that registering with the same IP address was wrong, we would have done our registrations in different places. We contacted the administrators and clarified the situation, as far as we were concerned, the rule was to ensure that one person doesnt get more than one stake, so we offered to provide any proof they requested to prove that all five accounts were valid. All the accounts were registered with work email address, which are unique to every employee and cannot be falsified. We even offered to send pictorial evidence even as far as sending our passports as seen in these two posts

and
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=654845.msg11962374#msg11962374
None of our offers were accepted. I posted a few times on the forum to bring the admins attention to the situation, all I got was cold shoulder. Eventually I made it clear that I would not let it go, and that at a certain time, if we were not given what we were promised, we would take legal action. That time has come now and I am now using this opportunity to give the administrators one last opportunity to ensure that we settle this out of court, I am giving the administrators a one month notice to give us our stakes or we will have to meet in court to resolve this. Thank you!
PS: I will be sending this to all members involved in this project. I will be sending it to the NEM Core developers, Jaguar0625, BloodyRookie, Gimre; and the NEM Core marketers Rockethead, Kodtycoon, Jabo38, Mixmaster, and Ronel. I will be doing this to ensure that everyone involved understands the situation.

Actually, the was a whole thread for "wrongly accused sock puppets" and they were given NEM stake not "could solder". But just like for redemption of NEM stake there was a time period for this claim as well.
I am just curious. Why are you not taking legal action against UtopianFuture or Makoto too?
Makoto probably deserves to be sued unlike the other guys you are trying to sue.
P.S.: you have been watching Suits way to much
At the time of the first thread sending BTC or NXT was considered a donation and a call for participation. It was not ever billed or sold as an ICO. Some were even given free stakes just for participating. The key part was the participation, not the donation. And that donation guaranteed you a coupon. But that coupon also had an expiration date which is long past due.
There was also a disclaimer when UtopianFuture started the fundraising:
Disclaimer:
- While we are committed to the idea of " Completely Fair Distribution - Equal Shares for ALL "; the fund raising terms are subject to changes upon the discretion of the development team.
- There is no refund.
- Nothing comes out of NEM's receiving addresses until the genesis block is launched. We are committed to move the project forward. However, in the unlikely event that the project disintegrates and no one picks it up, the remaining development fund will be sent to a charity of the community's choice.
- No contractual promise is made to anyone.
- Be patient
