Sometimes we all make decisions for our own reasons. Even the best logic at the time may prove to be wrong in the long run. In this current situation, those who have relatively small amounts stuck, may just be the victims of bad timing. But those who have large amounts stuck left their money at fcp for various personal reasons. You may have been evading taxes. You may have just been using fcp as a bank. Whatever your reason, it was your decision. Until fcp froze withdrawals, you could have withdrawn your money. But you didn't. Ultimately, you made the wrong decision and now it may cost you dearly. I'm sorry. I'm also sorry that I didn't listen to my son-in-law when he suggested I buy a new thing called Bitcoin when it was $0.25. A $500 investment then would have been worth $40 million just a few months ago. It sucks when you learn (too late) that you made a wrong choice. That's not to excuse Payoneer, Choice Bank, FCP, or the Central Bank. One or all of them has done a terrible thing. There can be no excuse for what they have done. But it all started with your decision to trust them with the safekeeping of your money. It seemed like the right thing to do at the time, but it turned out to be the wrong choice. You can't go back and change that. Survive and work the best you can with the situation as it is. Learn from this experience. Hope for the best, but be prepared for the worst. There is little that you can do to affect the outcome of this situation. But your responsibility is to be prepared to receive your money if it becomes available. For many, that means opening a real account at a real bank. I know that can be complicated, but its the best you can do.
Not one person here knows the true heart of Dan Epstein or Ad Kees. Certainly it has been true that things they have told have turned out to be incorrect. But to say that they lied is to say that they knew that it was incorrect at the time they told it. That might be true, but you don't know that. Many members here have passed on information that ended up being wrong, like the notion that money would start to be wired on 2 July. Well, that day has come and gone and no money has been sent. Were you lying? Lying has to do with motivation, not accuracy. Imagine if you worked at choice bank or fcp and you heard something that would encourage people you cared about. Would you not tell them? Then if that information turned out to be incorrect, how would you feel if your friends started calling you a liar? If those guys are liars, then they have to live with that. Let them try to sleep at night. As for me, I know that this situation has many moving parts. Things can change suddenly by surprise. What is true today may be false tomorrow. I will leave the mind reading to the psychics.
