Admittedly, I haven't always been the most mature person around here and I'm sure I've said some things that have offended people, but that was pretty harsh.

I think I agree with this, if they were just taking the BTC and running why the fuck would they still be hanging out here taking the abuse?  They have a scrambled db and 10,000 motherfuckers trying to scam them. 

Yeah, I really don't think there's anything nefarious going on.  I do think there's some confusion between the managers, as we have gotten some conflicting reports.  I think Amir has expressed one of the biggest reasons for the delay, and it has to do with the nature of bitcoin - once they send them out, there's no going back.  I think it's the right thing to do to be as confident as possible, and it's a shame (but totally unsurprising) that people polluted the claims process with bogus claims.

I actually underestimated my claim because it had been so long since I logged in and I couldn't remember what it was exactly, and I didn't want to overshoot it and appear to be trying to take advantage of the fact that they were missing so much data.  So, even if I get back 100% of my claim, I won't be getting back all the bitcoins I had in there.
