Since you are the CEO, I have a question I would like to ask:

Do you have a support team?

I ask this because as of late, I have encountered a technical issue on the BTCJAM platform, and have been unable to access by bitcoins. I have send numerous emails to your posted contact address, but have yet to hear back from anyone. I think this is very shady and wrong. As someone who works in the financial field, I can tell you that what your team is doing warrants prosecution by the SEC and is a very big risk to be taking. I understand the "hands-off" approach your team has with overall business management, but you should not be so nonchalant when it comes to such a risk business such as money (bitcoin) lending.

CEO of BTCJam here.

Id like to address the claims made by Avastar1:
1- We are not a scam. We are a legitimate business that started out in Brazil, hence the Ovo Comsico LTDA. We recently moved to San Francisco and raised money from various Investors, including Ribbit Capital who also backed Coinbase and Xapo.

2- I am the inventor of the patent mentioned, and here is the link to patent that includes my name. The LinkedIn profile posted is the one of my father, who carries the same name as me (I am officially Celso Cardoso Pitta Jr.)

Avastar1 is mad at BTCJam because we blacklisted his account after he started harassing other users, which is against our Terms of Service. We havent taken any Bitcoin from him, weve simply closed his account. For about 3 days, he was not able withdraw his coins and is now trying to claim that we are a scam.

3- While weve had a few scammers in the past, our credit scoring algorithm has improved a lot and our repayment rate for the last 4 months is over 90%. More importantly, investors are averaging 19% year over year returns, further proving that the core of our credit scoring algorithm works. Just be sure to invest in A and B loans, diversify well enough, and you will make good returns.
