What was the address of weexchange again? There was something in australia and something in the usa right? I will search another lawyer now. First step checking out if he can get more info, maybe putting pressure to get info. Sueing isn't the step from the start, first trying to gain information in case there is a gag order.

I'd be really happy if you sued him and hope you do. It'd be nice if there were any reprecussions for him stealing all our money, and at the very least, we'd finally hear the truth, whether it was his scam to steal the money or he gambled away everyone's deposits on risky investments or whatever the case may be.

That being said, I think the chances are pretty slight.  Jon Montrol purposefully seemed to set up his company so that it has to do so, with one part of being registered in Bali, one part registered in Australia etc.  This is also shown in his IRC chats how he says that WeExchange and Bitfunder are totally separate companies and how he can't talk about what happened to our stolen millions 'for legal reasons' (which seem to be basically 'I did something illegal and you lost all your money so the less I say the better off I am').

I don't even know if you could find a lawyer who would be up for taking this on and it would cost you a really exorbitant amount of money to do so and best case would likely be that he goes bankrupt and you don't get any of your money back (which he also said he'd do, in IRC chats, if he got sued).

Probably the only people who got their stolen BTC back where the people that did enough stuff 'in real life' to warrant them being scary enough to Jon that he'd pay them off.

I'm amazed that still some people have their head stuck in the sand. Ya, ya, just hold on guys, Jon Montroll is going to just come back one day and give you your stolen money back lol. Keep on waiting !
