Not sure if this has already appeared in the thread but from the bitcoinica.com page,
"Claims which have been internally identified as reasonably accurate based on records and for which the ownership of the claim has been determined will receive an initial payment of 50%"
50%? This is different from the earlier 80% plan:
30 May 23:30: We're going to proceed with payouts of the few people we have verified hopefully tomorrow for 80% of their claims (the remaining 20% will be refunded later). A more lengthy process will be applied to everyone else.
- Why the change of plans?
- When will the 50% refund start? Give us a date and stick to it. (The 80% refund was supposed to start May 31...)
- Will this include the customers that were unable to password verify? (but did go through manual verification)
- How will refunds work? And in the case of wire transfers, who will bear the cost of the transfer, esp if refunds will happen in multiple installments?
