It costs me money
Do you have a US Embassy close by?
I pay about the same if not more than I'd get in BTC
This is quite a shortsighted view, especially if you believe in bitcoin and its potential.
US law firm/"lawyer"
I have explained how Quentin works with the Fleites Law Firm. There is no need to go into this again.
If I get reimbursed for the costs that I have to bear to have YOU continue legally what you are doing and if I get better information where my personal information ends up, that might change.
I have spent close to $20k to make sure we ALL can continue.
I'm not involved in this, but really feel badly for all involved. I would just say to contract holders, what would you do if you were in giga's shoes? He had no way to anticipate the exchange would close and seems to be doing everything possible to make things right. The real jerks are the ones who closed the exchange suddenly, leaving issuers and holders of securities to try and sort things out.
