I must be paid for my work since I've incurred expenses tracking this down. I'm sure something can be worked out since he was the one to make the 1k btc offering in the first place.

Hmmm. It's not like Big Vern's word means anything. The guy might actually be the most dishonest person in Crypto.

If promises are not kept I will attempt to make a deal with the court to recover the funds and return them to the people. My reward will simply be the remaining profit of Cryptsy and the right to assume control of Cryptsy corporation.

This is not how it will go down lol

He just responded!

Vern is in divorce proceedings in Florida. His address and lawyer's address should be there in the paperwork. Put an outline describing the information you have and as much as you can divulge into a legal envelope and mail it with confirmed delivery. Save the receipt. Also mail yourself a copy which you keep sealed in case you later have to prove the paper trail on sending them the info. Send a copy to Vern's/Cryptsy's lawyers. Inform them that you expect the 1000 BTC reward IF YOUR INFO TURNS OUT TO GET THE COINS BACK. Negotiating for 30 per cent or for upfront payment will be unrealistic. After you get the money back in Cryptsy's wallet you should get the 1000btc. The bounty was publicly posted. If you get the coins returned then they'll have the money to pay 1000 btc reward.
That's my opinion on it anyway. I'm not from Cryptsy so can't personally guarantee anything.

Vern had a business that supposedly made about 2000 btc/yr in profit. Why would he give up a multi million dollar business to steal money he can never spend? If he ever tries to spend the coins he's toast. If you think it through logically Vern is probably not the thief. He's losing a multi million dollar profitable business and facing risk of jail and bankruptcy for what? He can't even spend the coins even if he did move them out of Cryptsy's wallet. I think it's just like he said. Someone put a malicious code into his wallet which was not up to standard. Lucky 7 virus has been found and confirmed by other nerds.

This corruption, bounty, blackmail, extortion, theft, illegal activity shit is driving me away from bitcoin. I dont know about anyone else but I've had enough now....

No he's not ... mixers?  Hell shapeshift -> Monero/anon currency of choice
