Had 2 PMs from him today.  Think that Tom is handling the best he can.  Obv people want him to post more details so then they can then find more stuff to pick apart.

As an investor, and a very active member on this board, I am happy with how things have progressed so far.



This.  Initially I was a little pissed off with how he dealt with it but since then he has behaved perfectly well imo given the circumstances.

Why has Alex's point regarding proof of how the money was lost been overlooked?  I often buy pieces of people on blonde and I would defo want to see screenshots or have an independent person verify the story. It's one thing to spunk all the money in your account at the time, it's another actively depositing and spunking other people's money but it's a whole different ball game if any part of it was premeditated. I actually doubt it was in this case but if I would defo want to see proof and if it couldn't be provided I would want to know why not. I can see no reason why this shouldn't be provided to stakers via PM or whatever.

He said in the other thread that he could show deposits, but didn't see no reason why he had to go from HH.

Tom being confirmed "under it" just makes this...... Well Huh???

Much as I would enjoy the voyeuristic side of seeing this all play out in public, I see no valid reason why it should.



this. In a sick way i wish i had bought a piece now.

The Only people flaming Tom are people with no money invested in this. By the sounds of it he's taking the right steps to sort this out with investors so I see no point to play this out for everybody to see.

The people who actually matter are the stakers, so the people just eager to see personal drama being played out on a public forum do not. My advice to you would be not to invest in Tom in the future if he decides to ever sell again.

Gl Tom do the right thing and you can get your life back on track without losing any friends over one night of madness

Agree with this.

Stakers are happy for it to be handled privately, once it has come out in the open. Everyone wanting it handled in public from here on out just seems to be wanting to see a drama/scandal unfold and I am yet to read a valid reason why it should play out in public.

Tom has done the right thing so far and I have the screenshots via email, which I can show to all investors if they require. ftr i havent actually looked at them yet lol, no idea what they say Cheesy

I can assure you I couldn't give a shit about any drama or scandal so it's definitely not everyone.

I just happen to think that when something starts publicly it should finish that way as well. I've staked Tom in the past and possibly would again if he sorts this out. If everything happens privately then I'll think there's something to hide and won't even think about it.

There was nothing private when Tom was asking for staking and there wouldn't have been anything private if everything went okay. If it becomes private now it's gone tits up it'll just make me wonder what he's got to hide and therefore make me remove him from any potential future list of those I trust.

Fwiw I've always had Tom down as one of the good guys and think he'll come through this okay in the end. I certainly hope so anyway.

Good luck sorting it Tom.

You don't know what he has pm'd them and what steps he is taking to sort this all out. I have spoke to a couple of investors and they are just genuinely gutted for Tom the person, not just an investment gone wrong. Anyway I've said my 2 pence worth.

If all the private details were sorted in private and 6 months from now, all investors posted itt saying

"I've been paid back, it's all been handled well since the cock-up and we can now move forward and put this behind us"

Would that not suffice?

Why does anyone who's not invested need to know the specifics like who's getting paid first, what chunks, how often, what job he's got, how much he gets paid etc. It just invites flaming from people like xx, yy like itt already.

I just don't understand the "it started publicly, it should finish publicly" notion. Seems like nonsense. Why should it?
