In November, an investor approached me to acquire Bitcoinica. Due to regulatory concerns, I agreed to the deal and signed the agreement. Bitcoinica was sold for a good price. However, since the investor is unable to arrange for a replacement team, I continued to become the sole operator until Team Intersango took over two weeks ago. The investor let me keep all profits until late January, the official handover time. After handover, he continued to offer generous salary and performance bonus every month. The investor demands his identity to be protected so I won't share more information on this.
and you say
Who is the owner isn't important. [...] I apologize for the lack of transparency. But it really has nothing to do with legitimacy.
and now a "hack" happens and the only one to publicly post anything substantial is the former owner who's announced this is his swan song.
Where's senbonzakura's "hmm" when you need it?
