That is a very amusing scenario you have dreamed up.
If that was the case though, I would probably have chosen to not close BF knowing all of this and use the hundreds of btc of monthly would be profits to cover any losses. BitFunder was only growing.
Sorry to put a snag in your dreams.
Listen you little punk, this is what you did, this is the only scenario:
1) Bitfunder had to be closed due to the SEC cease and desist letter sent to you. You could
not have kept it open.
2) You sold over 5,000 BTC of other peoples money at what you thought was the top of the market in the hope that you could buy them all back plus some for yourself at a much lower level. I'd say you sold everything around
750USD?
Amended below. I would also say you have a substantial amount of USD waiting to buy back BTC should it fall below around
700USD. If it does you will be able to pay everyone back, but that fall in price is very very unlikely to happen. In the mean time people have been prevented from speculating or investing with their own money and have lost out.
This is a criminal act involving millions of dollars. You are going to jail. Even if you return all the money you will still go to jail.
