The problem is, since the coins are still in cold storage it makes me wonder if even whoever was in control of them, still actually has control of them... is there a chance that something has genuinely happened to the coin holder?
Or is this probably just a ruse, hoping that we all forget about it in time and don't notice the coins being transferred out?
Even if Everydice's story was true, and the site's bitcoin was in the hand of a "mysterious investor", I don't think you can find him...
Someone suspected that "mysterious investor" was uptweets, who has completely vanished since the incident.
Everyone should read the first page of this thread. In addition to me warning people that this was a possibility, there is also one user who wanted to invest "a large amount" and then asked ED if he wanted to "sell the site other then take donations" (not sure what this means but may be misworded to sell the site and just take commissions). This user also has not posted on BCT in ~3 weeks, which seems to be 1-3 days after all of this going down.
Could be a giant coincidence, could be the two of them were in cahoots since the start, could be ED is telling the truth (yet is/has still acted extremely unethically), could be ED is looking for a scapegoat. Just seems...odd to me.
It makes sense.
Btw, it seems uptweets has put quite some effort and bitcoin in promoting ED, or maybe just trying to get some ref.

uptweets hasn't logged in since May 27, it would be interesting to have a comment from him but it would probably be along the lines of "i am not the early investor ED is talking about"
