After your last post, opnoskatt, I picked up on one common thread looking at the your public logs: Both you and beetje2007 made a purchase where you paid yourself a bonus. After that, things went awry.

From your posts I can very well see MakeBTC did not anticipate this and probably did not allow for it in their programming until after the fact, simplistically figuring when people cashiered they would not buy back in right away or at all. Oops, bad business analysis and testing for new code. It happens, seen too much of that in my career. Tidying it up properly is MakeBTC's problem, agreed, along with proper private communication to those involved.

I personally don't think there was an attempt to cheat as much as you stumbled upon a possibility they simply missed. Good user testing but testing that should have happened before the code was put in production. However, I can also see where they may not see it that way.  In any case, I hope this gets straightened out to everyone's honorable satisfaction.
