What happened:: 50BTC.com (member) ran 50BTC.com mining pool. On about October 18 2013 the pool stopped payouts of mining earnings. Suspiciously, this was right after an announcement that they would be switching to DGM reward method from PPS. 50BTC.com (member) has not been on the forum since October 28, 2013. 50BTC.com claims pool was conveniently hacked and all mining earnings were lost. Lack of communication and avoiding questions from pool members makes the situation appear very fishy.

I didn't log in to my 50btc a lot, but I had about 700BTC sitting in there, maybe a week before, my balance was 750BTC, when the theft happened I logged in and my account balance was 766928.51230298 BTC.
Now when I try to log in ALL I get is "A record with the supplied identity could not be found."
I can only assume this means they've deleted my account.... honestly for almost 1mil USD I want blood, I want to seize his assets, I want him in jail for theft and fraud, this kind of shit NEEDS TO STOP HAPPENING IN THIS COMMUNITY.
