I was very lucky not to lose anything from inputs.io, all I can say is I'm happy that I was sceptical in the first place. I never liked the way others trusted him, never liked this whole ripple debacle and some could say it was more difficult to criticise him than others on this forum.
There are still many users out there, today and yesterday who keep advocating his profile and praise him for providing some users with a partial refund. TradeFortress fucked up very very bad even if he is telling the truth, he is still more than likely extremely negligent. The fact that he refuses to file a police report is in itself means that an inside job was probable (perhaps not certain). A NSW Police spokesman said there was no complaint made and suggested one should be filed and the case would be "treated like any other theft", yes the police are very limited regarding bitcoins but if TradeFortress was confident enough to do the right thing and file a police report then that would prove him to not be a scammer, just negligent.

TradeFortress I have some questions, which you probably won't answer:

1. Why don't you file a police report? Especially after the comments from NSW police. I understand that this is a grey area and you may not know where you stand in regards to the law, after all we're talking about a currency exchange here not a bakery. However, I can't accept that you have not sought advice from a lawyer and if you haven't then that is very very dumb, should have been an absolute priority. Something tells me that you have visited your lawyer and they have advised you that you will get into trouble (by exposing yourself to a possible investigation) if you file a police report. That's the only logical reason I can think of regarding you not filing a police report.

2. Are you even incorporated? Honestly if you are not incorporated and you are operating under your name, 100% everything in your name with all your assets and credit at huge risk then I would be shitting myself 100x more.

3. Finally, as everyone else had suggested why hold so much available btc online? This is finance 101, you could have easily used the internal data freely provided to you to determine how much should be provided online daily and if you can't or don't have time then you should have hired a financial controller.

In the short time that I have been involved with bitcoins and particularly this forum, I have noticed there are some big reasons why small and large bitcoin services fail, two of which I'd like to point out. Firstly, scamming of course and secondly, the owner always places too much work on himself and refuses to hire anyone cause they're 'scared'. I mean really just get your employees to sign an NDA loll.
