I'm pretty sure it's Capital One. When you wire money in, the ABAN resolves to some other bank, but that had been bought out by Capital One some years ago. That may be the source of the confusion.

Forget the bank though. Roman is causing all this frustration. Why was there a note on the Bitfloor website saying a check was in the mail, when that was clearly a lie? And why no clarification on that later? He even gave an ETA of 10 days for the check, which he seems to have pulled out of his you-know-what. And we all waited like fools.

The one person who deserves no pity in this is Roman.

While I completely agree that Roman should be posting at least daily updates and responding to e-mails (even if it's a canned "status update").

The plausibility of Roman getting dicked around by the bank is pretty good.  He could have talked to a rep and they said the check would be on the way in 10 business days etc etc etc  and it never arrived with some other department holding it for some other reason... plus bad communication.  It's plausible, happens all the time especially in banks, there is a reason why it takes months to buy a forclosed home, even to get a response from a bank on a offer (cause they are big lumbering masses of silo'ed processes/depts that have no clue what each other do).

The lack of communication is probably the worst here... each day leads me to believe poof our cash is gone... It is even worse to see his twitter account continue activity like bitfloor never existed...
