There are a ton of other pools for LTC. After the controversy of this pool, why not move to another one? If he took money from people once, he will do it again if he needs to.
I can't believe so many people still mine there. I left right after the coin problem and never looked back, there are much better pools with better more active admins.
-edit
I read more of the thread, never mind. I hope you guys can get your coins out, be sure to report success so theirs can get theirs too.
