I certainly understand your frustration, wasubii. However, as I tried to point out in an earlier post, I don't think it makes much sense for bit365 to stall in the hope of raking in enough money to pay people off. He's only taking it a little over 1 BTC per day in bets now, even at the peak of the (American) football betting season. Even if his average profit were close to the 6% it has hovered around historically, this isn't going to pay off even one of his big investors for months. On top of that, the book has been losing money of late, at least if you believe the posted bets and numbers. Surely he is aware of all of this.
This obviously doesn't make it any more excusable that bit365 is hiding. I tend to believe his story about lost cold-storage bitcoins. My best guess is that his brief optimism that the remaining lost wallets could be recovered hasn't panned out.
In any case, his lack of communication and lack of transparency about the details of the problem remains unacceptable. He has mis-managed the PR campaign since the beginning of the problem and has exacerbated the damage to the website's reputation. If he pays everyone back tomorrow, he will now have an uphill battle to rebuild his image. Every day that goes by just makes it a little bit worse. Seriously, bit, what do you hope to gain from your silence?
Thanks for letting us all know that bit365 failed to meet his deadline with you, wasubii. It's not encouraging, but it is an important bit of news.
