Right about now, Roman is getting hundreds of emails. Poor him 
It is unfortunate that the bank account was closed before some of the ACH transfers could go through.
Had I initiated mine a day earlier I would have got it in time.
Such is life.
Whenever this 10 days is up, I'm interested in seeing what he pulls out of his ass as the "best way to return your funds to you."
If it's anything other than ACH / Check in mail / USPS money order in mail I'll be surprised. Heck, it'd be easiest for him to just return the funds via bitcoin ;-) But my hope hasn't evaporated; so far nothing out of the ordinary has been indicated. It's a little harder to abscond with USD (from a freshly-cashed check with an undisputable electronic record "sorry officer, the check was um, stolen, and someone who looks exactly like me cashed it with fake ID") than it is with bitcoins.
I remember some story from Reptilia about some rich guy who sold all his coins above 200 and was trying to figure out how the heck to get his USD funds out of MtGox when the price was like $60. Ended up being that the fastest way was to simply convert back to BTC, transfer to reptile, then "sell" coins for roughly same amount and SEPA USD to rich guy. Funny stuff.
