Hello, if someone could please send this to Dumbfruit, I would appreciate it (I am a newbie and his pm is hidden from me). I currently have a 28.58 btc balance on Coinlenders (under the name goodtimes 73), which does not include about 1btc in owed interest. I am an unverified member of CL. I have emailed Tradefortress several days ago but have not heard back yet. Obviously I think he should pay all CL customers back, principal and interest. Other that that, here is what I make of the current situation.

TF obviously messed up, but his behaviour is highly unusual for an outright scammer. I have read through most of the threads related to him, and (I think), all of them related to CL and inputs. I have yet to see a single person definitively ID Tradefortress. That tells me that he is still basically anonymous. Yet, many people have reported receiving at least partial or even full refunds. What outright scammer who has managed to remain anonymous offers refunds? He could have absconded with the $1M + and never been heard from again. It just doesn't make sense. So, I think he is trying to make the best of a very bad situation. I have no idea how much we might be offered back, but I would be surprised if it is nothing. However, the situtation is basically a bank-run if everyone asks for their money back at once. That is why I said to TF: I am willing to leave my coins in CL (assuming it stays open) to allow you to try to collect loans and so forth to pay me back in full. From what I can tell, many other CL customers feel this way. If so, we should make it clear that we do. It seems that is by far the best chance of us getting paid back in full. Of course, we should continue to be paid interest on our deposits. At what rate, I don't know; that is negotiable. I know many people here will find this naive in the extreme, but again, if you don't think TF is a scammer, this seems to me to be the best chance of getting paid back in full.

want me to work in getting your coins back for you?
~regardless imo the clock is ticking however you are going to do it, I'd get on that right away!! Cool
