‘Can You Imagine the Horror?’
Bitcoin.com (BC): Can you acquaint our readers about your story?
Jack Kingston (JK): I was trading on BTC-e, and there was annihilation actionable angry to my funds. The alone acumen I was trading on BTC-e is because it was so easy. I’ve been trading cryptocurrencies for years, alike during the Mt Gox debacle, but I lucked out on that one. I accept an annual with Poloniex as well, but I could not get additional akin verification, and that was authoritative accepting my funds difficult.
I beatific Poloniex an Australian authorization which appealing abundant opens doors for me everywhere, and they accept my email addresses and a bill for my active address. Yet, still 2-3 months pass, and I still cannot get bigger verification. Which agency I can put $400,000 into an account, but you can alone abjure $2,000 a day.
BTC-e was easy, and that was the alone acumen why I traded there, and the blow is array of history man. A lot of the money came from a agglomeration of birr nodes that I sold, as you apperceive a few Birr nodes are account a lot of money. A lot of traders in the broadcast box were talking about affairs for USD aloof afore August 1, but again the bits hit the fan, and no one could do anything. This is area I begin myself — Can you brainstorm the horror? Literally appropriate afterwards I awash these Birr nodes and the blow of the money I had on there.
BC: So you absent abutting to a bisected a actor dollars?
JK: Yes a shitload of money, $430K USD. I’m not in the position of area I am disturbing and such, but that’s neither actuality nor there. I started affairs bitcoin back it was aloof a few dollars and awash at about $800 and again got into birr back it was actual low — And birr has gone up twelve-fold back again admitting bitcoin was like 33 percent.
BC: Will you try to get the money aback from the FBI?
JK: Yeah if there’s any way I can admission my money. I accept email accounts, I can log into my account, I accept affidavit the money there is mine. I’m not abiding what I’m planning to do yet.
Some of this bits I’ve been account about in the account adage that ‘everyone who acclimated BTC-e is bed-making money’ is bullshit! I don’t apperceive what affectionate of idiot comes up with that idea. The absoluteness of it is BTC-e is abundant easier to use than abounding of the added exchanges. I like to trade, and I like to abbreviate bitcoin. There’s annihilation amiss with me accomplishing that.
How do you feel about BTC-e?
JK: There was never any problems abbreviate of the FBI advancing in and antibacterial it. I don’t accept how the FBI can affirmation administration over my money. As far as the funds of innocent bodies who accept money on there I don’t apperceive why they won’t let bodies admission it.
If BTC-e came aback and refunded my money, I would abide to use them. I would barter with them afterwards aggregate they’ve been through for them to be loyal to customers. There’s no acumen why I wouldn’t use them.
The Elite Want Everything
Mr. Kingston says he is a little hopeful about BTC-e’s recent announcement and continues to acquaint me he has no advisedly with the barter whatsoever. It’s the U.S. government accomplishing this and is not acceptance him admission to his funds, Mr. Kingston explains. There has been little to no advice provided by U.S. law administration so far about the “purses” BTC-e says they confiscated.
Mr. Kingston tells me he’s apologetic for talking so abrogating about the U.S. but thinks it’s absolutely aloof a government affair that’s affecting us all.
“It’s not aloof the U.S. mate, but they’re arena a big part. It’s a government affair worldwide. The aristocratic appetite aggregate while us approved bodies flounder. The U.S. has no appropriate to my money,” Mr. Kingston adds.
