Some clarifications
After the Smart Contract was closed, there was a contributor who asked to join on March 2nd, 2018. This contributor wanted to add “USD 45,000 in Ethers” to a previous contribution he had made during the ICO. As the Smart Contract was closed but we still could issue tokens and he wanted to join anyway, we offered him to send the funds to a regular wallet. Thus, he sent us 52 ETH on March 2nd, 2018. The transaction can be found here.

After the Smart Contract error was identified and released, we proceeded to send him back his 52 ETH as they were not locked due to the Smart Contract error. Given that the Ether price has plunged, he requests us to refund the difference in USD. However, we believe that there is no reason for us to do so and hence, he is now accusing us arguing that he has been scammed. Our official position towards these situations is that we will not give in to any kind of illegitimate pressure.

EIP 867: Standardized Ethereum Recovery Proposals
Ethereum’s most senior developers have initiated a debate on whether or not a method for returning funds lost due to high-profile hacks and incidents should be implemented.

The improvement proposal that seems to be more popular is the one described on EIP 867, led by Dan Phifer from Musiconomi.

For now, no action will be taken until Ethereum decides on how new features should be proposed to the community through the Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) protocol.
