Then it became evident to me that they are not serious; they waited a year to withdraw the monies from the wallet because they assumed, as others have stated here, that I had forgotten about the funds.
I wonder why they waited that long to move your funds. They don't really care much about their negative reputation based on what I observed. There is a possibility that they forgot about your funds and remembered recently.
Whatever the case, they will never give you back your funds sadly. Best thing that you can do is write scam accusations against them within this forum and other popular sites.
