Just FYI Swede, if this ends up being a scam, not all of us hold you responsible. It's obvious to me at least that you have been acting in good faith.
edit... What contact methods have you had for Sam? Anything traceable like a phone number, personal email etc.?
This is the truth. It seems to me that TheSwede has been doing all that he can with limited resources.
I don't think I'll be monitoring this thread anymore. Best of luck to those of you still with shares and I hope you recover some of your lost money.
I thought Alessia seemed to be a decent person with good judgment when we did our transaction. She treated me fairly with payment and overall it was a good process. I'm really surprised this turned out so poorly. At this point, a lot of people are out a lot of money, so I don't really feel bad about this.
I don't know if it will get you anywhere, but Alessia's email address is
btcblackbird@hotmail.com. Maybe it will help.
