Yes of course it was a stall tactic and added to the amount of data a corrupt company held. At the end, support was telling people to get their account to higher level to withdraw, knowing full well that would not work.
Ask yourself, why would they do this?
I am very sad to read this about topping up wallets to withdraw technique... that is pure stealing and pure corruption IF that is what happened. I still feel that Horus_Cryptsy seems honest and very sad at what happened. As for the elusive Mullick and Logan blokes, I have no idea about their history. I am concerned though that this BitJohn bloke might not be all he seems and there might be something deeper he is not being honest with. I feel the dark side of the force within him.
So I take it no love lost between you and BitJohn then?
