You're not thinking like a gambler.

The obvious way to recover the lose coins is to gamble and win. The site wasn't going to make much in the way of commission for a long time, since it was at a large negative profit (unless you believe 'divest' was a real player, not a last ditch attempt to attract new investors). "Borrow" a few coins from the bankroll, gamble at PD, recover the losses, repay the bankroll and everything's OK. Except you lose at PD, so need to borrow a few more. Etc. Until the bankroll is empty.
