Hi all,
I'm new to the forums and I just felt I had to post my epxerience with BTC-arbs so far and my actions taken.
I Invested 0.6346 on 28/03/2014. So far I have aboot 0.8 ish. But like you I have 0.7944 stuck in legacy.
I've also sent them a support ticket and got the same basic reply as some others have here.

Thank you for your message. As the new owners of BTC-Arbs we are happy to hear from you and are interested in hearing any suggestions that you may have. We are aware that the "Legacy Fund" method of doing things isn't ideal for some members, however it is the best way to ensure that all of our books are in order as we begin to move forward. As you will see, we have already started to transfer a portion of the Legacy Funds back to the main balance. Furthermore, we have processed all withdrawals that we have received.
We would appreciate your patience during this transition. A manual verification of the funds within the system is necessary, particularly due to the fact that there were a number of issues that arose as a direct result of the Heartbleed bug.
Further information regarding this transition will be provided in the coming days, along with information about our acquisition of an official investment license.
Sincerely,
Ron James & The Global Capital Alliance

The legacy transfer is taking way too long. You get to trade with the legacy funds but you only pay out over the meager small new balance. This isn't really fair. Please transfer all the funds. As atm I can't even withdraw the legacy funds if i'd want too.My patience is wearing thin as you can understand.
So I took it upon me to try and figure out what is really happening.
First I tried to track the origin of the website. But Whois is masking most of the data, but still if it all goes to shit we know where to look for the real data... Or at least the FBI will now. Here is the all the information I could get from tracking the IP.

Copyright © 2010-2014 Informer Technologies, Inc. Terms of Service About ContactsSo I've sent an email to both
Abuse@enom.come and
6547573D6D3C48BF97A407CD2AB7880B.PROTECT@WHOISGUARD.COM asking for more information regarding the site, Ron James and the CGA.
I've also followed up on a clue on this website
http://www.imaginegrow.com/business-growth-strategy.php, as someone else here posted they mention the GCA. The people running this site seem legitimate people that run legitimate businesses.
https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryanhogganhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/ericbjohnson20These two men run imaginegrow.com.
Now i've sent them a mail inquiring about Ron James and the CGA as neither of them really have any hits on the interwebz.
I'll keep you posted on any new info I get about these people and their companies and any replies I get from them.
I really hope we don't all get shafted and if we do I really think we need to work together and find the bad guys. I still have hope that nobody will get screwed but tbh. It's hard to keep hope.
