And did you think you could trust Roman when you started using Bitfloor?
Just couldn't resist that Grin

No, not really.. I had never communicated with Roman or anyone at Bitfloor before I began trading there. Actually, the thing I liked most about Bitfloor was the level of anonymity I could have and I always knew perfectly well that the flip side of that anonymity meant that in a worst case scenario I would not be able to prove conclusively that I ever had any money at all in a Bitfloor account. It was blind trust and it was violated.. but as painful as it has been to wait so long to get my money back from him, this isn't the worst case scenario because it does seem like I may get my money back after all.

Many of the choices we make day-to-day are on blind trust and most of the time it works out just fine because, on the whole, I think most people are honest.. call me whatever you like.

This IAFCU place is much much MUCH more transparent than Bitfloor ever could be, they have to be. I am not concerned about them stealing from me or anybody else.

Could that trust be violated? Sure

All you can do is minimize risk as best you can, but ultimately you may decide to accept a certain amount and then you try not to have regrets no matter what happens
