I am finally out of newbie land.

TomJeff: 440 :0 :U (yes that is 440 btc)!
That's a big amount to give to a stranger.
The following is so true. I thought I had done research, tested the waters, and so on.
This system is obviously far from perfect at the current time. For one, as it is nascent there exists the incentive to follow short term goals : build an identity up to whatever value, then strip it by taking the money and splitting. This has happened so far numerous times, and from a certain perspective it may seem the main economic activity surrounding Bitcoin at the moment, greatly compounded by the yet inept identity-valuation methods used by participants, their unwarranted self confidence (everyone thinks theyre a great judge of men, and everyone thinks their particular assumptions are both correct and warranted), their imbecillic pride manifested in the stupidest way it could, ie trying to keep things under wraps and all the rest of typically human failure. For the other, as it is nascent very little is in fact understood or generally known about it, and so gross mistakes happen quite cavalierly.7 -Mircea Popescu
Details so far- A day after I sent my claim email to support, I got a reply that my email probably was perhaps a fraudulent request; so could I send a Gvt ID. OK so I sent my Drivers license a few days ago. Haven't heard a peep since. So I dont know what to make of that.
I'm hanging in there. Its difficult for me lose so much. It just sounded like such a great, secure service.
Thank you putting this list together. every bit I can recover means a great deal to me.
