Does anyone have any updates on this saga?
The story seems to have gone dark after Kennedy was imprisoned for rape,
but the coins he stole are now worth almost $250 Million USD and he is still potentially liable for the theft.
I'd like to hear from anyone who knows what is going on; I've emailed the various law enforcement contacts
found listed in the threads over the years, to no avail.
Thanks for any info, I'm willing to offer a nice bounty to get my coins back!
INFO:
If you have missing funds from the recent Mintpal / Moolah debacle, please report it here. And if you want to, say how many are missing. Then if you have any luck getting missing coins back, please share too.
The goal of this thread is to provide a place where people can share info on the Mintpal situation openly and without censorship or filtering so we can build an accurate picture of what's really happening.
If we can get enough information and people together, we can get a criminal investigation started to see what really happened and maybe recoup funds.
Please repost this thread, first we need information as to what the picture is on how many coins have gone missing.
NOTE: Coins need to be 'left on an exchange' in orders so you can buy/sell coins or there wouldn't be any liquidity, and for users with high trade volume this can be a lot, there is no blame in this. Even people who take precautions loose coins when exchanges go bad, implying all users are careless when they have money stolen doesn't help anybody.
REPORTING GUIDELINES:
Update: I am not updating the figures right now as too hard to match any returned funds to previous reports that they were missing, but please keep reporting so the missing funds are documented in the thread and the information is on record.
Some alts have been returned but BTC still missing, and many people still have zero balances, can't withdraw or can't login, and as usual support tickets are being completely ignored by Moolah and they won't provide any actual details on the real situation.
Once we know whether Green is going to return the missing BTC, I will start generating the report on that so we can do a final tally of what is missing.
Thanks
