Let's say you're a fan of Magic The Gathering, like all crypto people since Jed.
Bob tells you they have a MTG card to sell you.
You say, ok, let's do this deal with an escrow.
Both of you agree.
You send the escrow the money for the MTG card.
Bob delivers the card, when suddenly....
Alice shows up and says the card is stolen.
There's an investigation and it turns out Bob stole the card.
The escrow in that situation is under no obligation to release payment to Bob.
Bob has not been acting in good faith, so the escrow is completely justified in returning the money to you.
Yes, but your analogy does not hold up here. Im sorry you lost money, as did I, but you are adding things into a very simple agreement.
As much as you would like to see this guy not get the BTC, he has his ass completely covered, and their is nothing that Bittrex can do here.
