There is 6200BTC here :
https://blockchain.info/address/17RTTUAiiPqUTKtEggJPec8RxLMi2n9EZ9The truth is Theymos is taking decisions as well as he can, it is a bit authoritative and many old members don't agree with his decisions but it is how it works now so we have to rely on his; it will change and everything will be different in a few years because it isn't stable enough atm
I like the idea that he is a good guy, he can definitely be influenced and that is why I threw my idea of a big giveaway; the most recent members don't always feel welcome and they would after a huge giveaway
I think that if he's truly acting in the best interest on the community, then he shouldn't have any issues explaining his reasoning or actions. Since he won't/can't do that, it looks pretty sketchy. I don't think it's too much to ask since he's dropped $350,000 out of ~$1,000,000 total on a new forum.
I am very interested by what you guys who were here early enough think about all this and my opinion is a bit irrelevant in the matter because I don't have enough informations yet and I was not here early enough
But to be honest Theymos does answer a lot of questions asked exemple :
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=455867.msg5069851#msg5069851He is pretty busy and he has been given a lot of power that he is using the best he can; as far as I understand he probably made a huge mistake with the 350,000$ (was it really 350,000$ when he paid or is it 350,000$ at today's price??) and he doesn't recognise it, maybe he will when it is crystal clear that it was a mistake; the rest of the money is here so it can still be used well
