No one is being told shit!
I got over 30BTC I gotta try and get back

Have you sent a message to John K about this? 30BTC was a considerable amount even when back when we were starting.
Steve is silent again.
If he will not start comunicating till the end of the week we should considerate our legal options.
How many ouf you guys are residents of EU?
I'm based in the UK and have some familiarity with one of the legal options available- I spoke to a solicitor about an order from a shop in Belgium that was taking way over the expected waiting period. There is a European Payment Order which may be appropriate. It's cheap to initiate as I understand, but we may be missing some information required.
This is the last thing I want to do as I'd much rather see people made as whole as possible without bringing the state into this.
