Hi All,

I was on the original list for 36 BTC under the name BTCWarrior. I settled for 6.7 BTC. I support a lawsuit and I encourage people who accepted TF's deal to join in too.

Right after the hack was made public, I was interested in keeping my money with CL, interest free, until TF was able to reorganize his business and get it running or liquidate it. I sent several emails with this offer and asked TF to let us know what his situation was so we could make an informed decision.

TF posted that he was having trouble collecting on his outstanding loans, I went after the four that he named and was able to get two of them to respond to me that they were in contact with him.

When TF settled with Dumbfruit, I felt betrayed and that a feeding frenzy had been touched off. Still, I offered what I thought was a fair return of funds. TF responded with an an offer that missed two payments into CL totalling more than 10 BTC. I sent back the correct number. TF then sent his final offer. I emailed several times trying to negotiate, and also once more made the offer to leave my money with CL if he was planning on reorganizing CL or needed more time to work on his outstanding loans.

After 24 hours had passed and I heard nothing back, I realized that this was a take-it-or-leave deal. I could not negotiate. I could not get information. It seemed like there was a feeding frenzy going on of people trying to get their money back and of TF haphazardly paying people. If I waited, I would lose it all. If I accepted, I could get at least a portion of this money, which is important for my family, back. Under duress, I settled.

It may be that I would be excluded from a settlement, but I also think it likely TF's mismanagement of this situation, and especially his lack of communication as to the real situation, will be ample grounds for stating that that agreement is null-and-void.
