I do not agree - if they are using bitcoind, they need to have downloaded blocks with income transactions to be able to send that money out.
You wouldnt be implying they are sending out bitcoins that other customers deposited, right? I mean, thats how a ponzi works

.
Or put differently, ask yourself how they can "trade" with no problems, but cant send out bitcoins to investors.
Anyway, its a moot point. bitcoin trader is a glaringly obvious ponzi and it wont take long for everyone to see that. They are just stalling, they will soon come up with other excuses and delays but the money isnt there, it never existed.
