Probably though I bet hes in China and living well and not off the hacked coins. Again this is my biggest issue with the whole thing is EVEN with the hack Paul could have just fixed it out of hide he was wealthy pre-Cryptsy from other ventures. He had the wealth and left us the employees in the dark.
On a personal note I apologize to anyone harmed that feels that myself or any of the Cryptsy staff (Let me change that to most staff) led you to invest or do anything with Paul, and Cryptsy. In the final days we the staff were not in contact with Paul 99% of the time. It was a headless company running on data provided by a false interface. We tried to improve, and generate revenue to keep it running.. The new look and some of the other things was us striving to try and keep the company running with very little input from the boss who was in China. Working on Cryptsy China.
To answer the why most Cryptsy Staff don't speak out? They don't live in Canada with the Maple Leaf shield and do not want to be Paul's fall guy. Shout out to Horus for continuing to be an outstanding guy and earning back everyone's respect he deserves it.
Lastly for the conspiracy theorists. The only people at that time with the power to steal the coins internally were:
Logan - Admittedly had all the passwords over time in the data center. Let go for being unstable (Likely Drug Related) With that said I do not think he took the coins he did not understand wallets, and Crypto and from what I know he still in the US with no money..
Mullick - Only had wallet access to most wallets. When wallets ran empty We complained to Mullick he complained to Paul and walla magic coins would appear, but as previously stated the most valuable wallets Paul would not grant access only refill when requested. It got bad when he went international as when a wallet would run dry only he could fill it. Of all the employees Mullick and I were close (internet buddies) Bottom line he didn't do it he is nearly broke now, and worked/works for the receiver.
Paul- Well I loved the guy like Spoetnik said he is a nice shy guy who just rubbed you the right way... Bottom line you cant have millions in personal assets, and move to China with no possible way to maintain income and defend the fact you could not reimburse a million dollar (at the time liability you had). Not to mention he ditched his wife and kids. The stories don't add up, and I have to lean toward we were all taken for fools (Cryptsy Staff).
With that said leave poor Jim alone the guy is easy to pick (porn background and crypto ignorant) on but definitely not in cahoots with Paul on this piece he is broke and probably bankrupt at this point, but I am confident he did not know, and was not involved. He and I were both remote employees like Horus. Both he, Horus and I only ever visited the HQ in Florida one time. Remote employees made about 30k a year or less. Some never mentioned here (or publicly EVER made) 150+k. Horus can vouch for that though I am more than confident he despises the man I tried really hard to mediate between the two...
With all that said Gleb, Spoetnik keep up the good fight. Someone has to.
Aaah finally we get some really strong information from someone within the company. I appreciate your input. My loss at Cryptsy was small, tiny compared to others but nonetheless I was scammed and this information will go along to way finding closure at some stage.
From what little I know about the issue I will go with what you said about "the stories don't add up". I think Paul Vernon may not have started the business as a scam but somewhere along the line he started taking money out of the company and could not replace it because the value of altcoins back then was nowhere near what they are now. After that he decided to dilly-dally off to China. The buck stops with him since according to you none of his ex-employees have any money and one as you put it is working with the receiver.
Paul Vernon is the scammer who did all this and he should face the music back in the U S of A
Yes, like Sonny Vleisides, Paul Vernon was on a good track now when starting Cryptsy, fresh after exiting two scam sites involving his wife, Lorie, Jim Shockney and his wife, Ginny, together scamming thousands from their user base, not to mention some pissed off folks using their porn sites, exactly what a well-off person would do to become even more well-off.
BitJohn (John Hammes), if Paul was so wealthy, they why did he need a loan from the company so to finally move outta that shack he lived in? Further, upon reading your latest post, the timelines seem skewed on more than a couple counts.
I contend that Mullick informed you that a "hack" occurred shortly after it happened since you and him are buds cuz buds tells other buds everything, like when last month I told my bud of 34 years that I had blood in my semen after jacking off (new issue of Goat Monthly arrived in the mail - Miss Nanny of May is to die for

).
EDIT: I forgot something since implementing my new post format, releasing my inner Poe.
WHACK! WHACK!
