Also just to note: even though there's no point in doing that the $40k DAI are still in escrow with minerjones and the last time we interacted with him is in this thread when we asked him to announce publicly 7 days in advance when we request our funds back. If you believe you were scammed and we are not being fair to you (and the community as well if they come to the conclusion that you shouldn't be refunded) we suggest you message him yourself and if you're in the right we're sure you will get your funds from him.
stormbounty apart from posting here with impeccable regularity not always addressing questions put to you, try to answer this one:
Apart from posting here do you have any other plans related to your funds not being accessible because you lost your private key safe? For example, will you be contacting
minerjones as Whirlwind suggested? The option is available for you in order to ask him to reimburse you if he concludes you were correct in your assumption about being scammed by Whirlwind.
