For everyone's transperancy, here is a screenshot of the last response I received on 12/23/23 when inquiring about the shipment date of the 1oz. AU doubloon:

Also, FWIW, I received two smaller coins that had been owed to me for a very long time just before Christmas.
I'm not sure what's going on personally with Chris, but while communication has been spotty, he hasn't been completely AWOL.
Not going to jump to a full conclusion yet, I'm still hopeful that BTCP can deliver whatever is owed so at the very least the Chris can repair/uphold his reputation and and BTCP Co. retain their legacy.
