Good question.  I was wondering if anyone would ask about that.

1DodGY was in cold storage, and I had other funds available to repay people with.

People don't care which coins they're paid with just so long as they are paid.

Thanks for keeping an eye on things though.  But really, if I had just claimed to have paid everyone out, but not actually done it, don't you think someone might have spoken up about it by now?
