because he doesn't TRUST other people with ACCESS to SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS of SITE USERS' FUNDS)[/i] :
You're right on this one.
That's a personal thing that he wants to do and can't entrust this duty to anyone with the funds. The solution to avoid the drying of the hot wallet is to give this duty to anyone he trusts when he's out and can't fulfill it when the hot wallet is about to become empty.
Maybe again this is being mentioned in the past but if i remember it right about the signature campaigns , the funds use to be Handed to the managers from Lutpin to Hhampuz as they are being allowed to send the payments directly to the players though the wallet must be filled by LL , but when this recent one ? it is LL who pays the participants things that worsted the situation as he keeps delaying the payments for Months and this is something not good and starts also the barrage towards the company added the emptying the Hot wallet over and over again.
Not sure how will lightlord will deal with the issue but Hoping that He will get back on his foot and bring back what he started .
