I just share information, for me this is a good start. I hope that they will pay out in full eventially. I'm not saying they are scammers or not it took them more than 4 months for such a small ammount, but hey it's something.
And remmember don't leave more Bitcoins than you can afford to loose at any pool/exchange.
some of us left the coins so that the withdrawal would be in one lump to make payments for stuff instead of paying tx fees for lots of little withdrawals and loose btc to all the fees
0.001 BTC is not a lot compared to what you lost... Using exchange rate from the October (100$ per BTC if my memory don't fail me) it was only 10 cents per fee...
Even if BTC cost = 1000$ it's only 1$. So fee wouldn't take much from you.
