He has said he is going mostly in order of requests received, along with some random (small amounts he can pay in full). I was the first of the large investors to request a refund, so he is tackling mine first. When I'M paid, I am sure he will then go to the next large investor on his list of requests. I was also one of his earliest large investors, having opened my account in late February.
I know everyone is anxious about this but look at how much needs to be repaid, and how much he is paying out. It makes no sense to make micro-payments to everyone, so that you feel like you are being repaid. The best method is to pay debts in full as you can.
The best method for who? For the ones that are receving some payments. Definitely not the best for the last person in the queue. The best for all would be stopping any payments until BTC-Arbs gets to the amount owed. That way is the fastest to get everyone's full investment because he can trade more.
You suggest you should be refunded completely before the next large investor gets hist first partial payment? That's not very fair, is it?
He isn't going to be able to trade that much more with a big amount of coins to start with. . You can't always scale up arbitrage. Just because you can selll a coin one place for 600 and buy another one for 575 doesn't mean you can do that with 2 coins, never mind 10, 100, or 1000 coins at the same time.
Plus, the problem isn't his trading (according to his story) he just lost a bunch of coins, so why give him a big bunch that he can lose again. that said, No one should believe anything until you get a total amount owed, and you start getting told how much is getting earned/paid back each day. The number of accounts is useless information, and the happiness confidence in a guy who you gave a bunch of bitcoins and he is slowly paying back tiny portions of that amount is insane.
