I'd like to see the BTC 200 from Eligius and 300 from Blockwitholder put in escrow and a trusted 3rd party audit carried out.

I'd rather this was done than some witch hunt / trial by media.

Agreed! I was just about to move my TH's to Eligius, but seeing this information has me a bit worried about doing so.

So you would prefer to have a pool owner that does not protect the pool?

You trust the pool owner to control the BTC 99% of the time but do not in this case? Either you trust the pool owner or not. ABSOLUTELY NO need for escrow in this situation.

It's not a case of trust, it's about doing the right thing. Behaving in an honest and open fashion. The innocent party has nothing to fear from my suggestion. Your rapid defense of Eligius may be admirable, but in this it is misguided.

It is not a defense. It is a point. They normally have control over your money. You trust them simply by joining their pool. If you do not trust them for your mining proceeds you should not be in the pool.
