Hi, bitcoiners!

Has anyone of those who did not receive their FIAT reported the case to the police or a lawyer and tried to get the money back directly from german or polish authorities or banks? What was the response?

If I can prove the fiat money I have at bitcoin-24 is of legitimate origin and belongs to me, is there any point of going to local police (in other EU state), report the case, present the evidence, and have them talk to German authorities or whoever is holding the money?

Their lawyers seem to be doing a pretty good job. They have been posting updates just about weekly on bitcoin-24.com that you can read in English and German.

They asked that everyone not file a legal complaint, because that will complicate the situation. Right now they are trying to find out what charges are being presented, and are trying to convince the authorities that the customers shouldn't be punished and should get their money back asap. If things go smoothly, maybe the assets can be unfrozen and returned quickly. If the authorities start hearing of people making legal claims, they won't be able to release everyone's money until those are resolved so the whole thing will take more time.

If you simply can not wait and must do something, I would suggest having your lawyers contact their lawyers to discuss the best route to take.
