Liar, liar, pants on fire. The "all accounts have been refunded myth" and why the whales don't care.
Don't believe everything you read from the big guns...
The leadership here will have you believe that EVERYONE who was hacked and lost money has been recompensated. Let me tell you now, don't believe the hype.
My account was compromised from the very beginning, did anyone tell me? Nope.
It sat on a list waiting for me to discover it. The hard way...

My intro post made over $200, and as soon as it hit my account, I was locked out, and my password wasn't working. I instantly worried about my newly acquired funds, but within minutes I watched it get taken away. Sent to bittrex and gone.
I was actually trying to figure out how to move my SBD into STEEM and Power Up, but this guy got me before I could even attempt it.
During the recovery process I was very patient and co-operative, and after a week we finally got back.
My account recovery even required it's own Github issue, which funnily enough mirrored the problems that the person running the Facebook page was having...

I received an email from Ned, after I'd emailed [email protected] upon reading this article explaining how everyone had been paid back, explaining that I hadn't and this was my reply.
Still nothing happening, no word back from anyone...
If everyone was paid back, why is it taking so long to fix that one guy that wasn't? Perhaps I'm not the only one?
Pretty much this whole experience has taught me: If you haven't invested real money, you don't matter.
They aren't making money off me, so I get no recompense.
Well, I won't be investing if this is how you manage it!
100 SBD or 10000 SBD it's no different. I had my funds STOLEN and I didn't willingly give my keys away to the hackers, THIS WEBSITE DID!
Why should I lose out?
I even gave these guys the easy out, just give one of my posts a decent upvote, and I'll forget about it all entirely...
But of course, not a single decently weighted vote comes in, even on what I think is great "original content", which is the biggest joke on Steemit at the moment - They don't want original content, they just want your money.
Day after day, I see regurgitated, reworded, rehashed, reheated SHIT get whale licks while the actual awesome original content, sits there, missed and ignored. Even when these guys work for hours and hours on their posts, and further hours spamming without dignity in promotion rooms, they get stiffed and the shitposters and beggars win again.
What's the idea of this platform again?
To pay for rehashed memes or boring toasted cheese melts?
To promote useless TnA posts and let actual writers go unnoticed?
If so, can I please be sent a hard copy of the whitepaper so I can wipe my fucking arse with it. I read it before I signed up, and it didn't mention this anywhere...
It comes down to this.
I'm not asking for votes. I'm asking for what was taken from me to be returned, as promised.
I've been more than patient...
That'll be all...
Hehehe. Nice post sir. It deserves..... TRIPLE
x3 UPTUCK!
Anything that raises eyebrows or provokes people is better than boring shit!
@calva upvote and bring your brother .
Thanks buddy, always good to get the Triples :D
It's rare I upvote and comment before the curation wait is over with. But you deserve the award. Sorry for your loss amigo. Hope they get this resolved. I doubt it's ill intent, but sometimes only the squeeky wheel can get the cheese. :)
Thanks man, I had to get it out.
I'm probably out of line, but I'm hoping someone will slap me back into place if I am...
Okay so flame topics are usually shit but this is great stuff man. Spoken from the soul. I have faith that they are probably busy and can make this right.
Cheers bud. I took my time to make sure it wasn't just an angry post.
You have a genuine concern, waiting for developers to come here and reply. If they have to cheat people they probably would not have posted the "all accounts have been refunded" post.
From a socially paranoid perspective, it's a perfect excuse to post it.
To get the people who were unsure on investing, to invest.
To make the ones who were cashing out, reconsider...
Still waiting to be corrected, of course...
Not doubting you even a bit as I said your concern is genuine.
I hope @ned and @dan can rectify this for you, if everything you said holds up as true. (not doubting what you are saying isn't true)
Well if it's not true, it's here forever for all to see. Tied to the blockchain.
I have no motivation to lie about it, just wanted to promote awareness and hopefully get some answers.
Hope everything gets worked out! It may have been that you just simply slipped through the cracks... it happens you know! But hey what do i know, we will see. You got my up vote for what its worth.. around .30 ;)
Thanks a lot, let's hope I'm wrong and it's all sorting itself in the background...
