Welcome to the snafu, takagari.  There's talk of a lawsuit and the tracking him down (at least virtually) has already been done, though I don't condone the assassination talk by any means.  I'm getting ready to email the SEC about this at the email address someone else gave a while back, debating on whether or not to do that or email TF again to in attempt to get my money back.  Not particularly interested in accepting his offer of just my original USD value back however.  Hasn't been made to me personally, but enough other people have gotten that offer on the board that it seems to be what his offer is (or was anyway).
