Its extremely unfair, I missed the claims process but I moved the bitcoins with random amounts to loads of different wallets in instawallet. I can prove the entire process, Richard Caetano confirmed everything, and suddenly he wasnt working there anymore. He was the only one that actually made an effort to help me and take a look at my case to see Im telling the truth :-(
Yeah, that's a bummer. I totally didn't pay much attention to this process, but it seems like a large project with few people involved.
I was gonna ask Davout, but does anyone know what his day job is? Is instawallet a company?
Instawallet was a service, provided by Paymium and Bitcoin-Central (not sure what their tie-up exactly is ... apparently they are a regulated French payment provider
... so much for the French legal system if these guys can 'confiscate' thousands of bitcoins without repercussions.
