Overnight (my time) I received an email from Deprived. He says he's not Jon Walklin, and doesn't know Jon Walklin.
He expects to be on the forums this weekend to "sort out the DMS mess". He pointed out that the funds are still intact (which last time I looked they were).
Make of that what you will!
Quite an interesting time for him to come out and say that he's not Jon Walklin. I would say that the fair thing would be for him to out himself publicly or to give an IRL point of contact since he's clearly not capable of coming around when he say he will.
Not that I think that he'll do that, but here I go wondering out loud again.
Or just hand over the fund to a trusted third party who can arrange for a controlled shutdown and fair distribution of funds.
But regarding the promised sorting out of the mess... I'll believe it when I see it.
