Sem querer colocar mais lenha na fogueira, mas alguém se lembra do final da notificação que o Leandro recebeu no ano passado, quando a CVM o proibiu de oferecer os investimentos da Rain:
Em caso de eventual prejuízo, a indenização deve ser perseguida junto ao Poder Judiciário. Nessa hipótese, esta Comissão poderá ser intimada, pelo Juízo, a oferecer parecer ou prestar esclarecimentos sobre a questão, nos termos do art. 31 da Lei nº 6.385/76.

Aqui como proceder para registrar uma reclamação, se for esse o caminho adotado:
http://www.cvm.gov.br/port/protinv/programa.asp#denunciasExcellent information - thanks a lot Adriano!
I have some more good news - have a look at Bitcoin Magazine's latest story:
http://bitcoinmagazine.com/8004/brazilian-magazine-super-embraces-bitcoin/Isn't it nice to see that our money has furthered the success of Mercado Bitcoin?! No mention of Leandro, the article refers to the CEO of Mercado Bitcoin Rodrigo Batista. I wonder if he knows how much money his business partner scammed?!
Leandro is known to Brazilian authorities already, as can be seen by the links that Adriano provided.
Now Mercado Bitcoin's business is growing.
Based on these facts, I propose the following next steps:
1) If someone in Brazil simply visits a lawyer and shows him all the information we have compiled in this thread, I think there is a good chance the lawyer would be willing to take on the case without a retainer fee (instead they could receive a percentage of any recovered money). Why?
DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE SIZE OF THIS SCAM! Just Thiago alone is owed over half a million dollars! I am personally owed tens of thousands! The total amount could easily be over 10 million dollars!!
The lawsuit would certainly be all over the news in Brazil - Leandro would be called the Brazilian Pirateat40! The exposure for the lawyer would be enormous and far more profitable than a retainer fee in the long run!
Even if the lawyer wants an upfront fee, no problem - anyone in this thread who is interested in joining the class action lawsuit can simply contribute a portion. There are many of us here - it will not be too much per person.
2) The lawyer can then file a class action complaint with the CVM (this will carry more weight than if we each submitted complaints separately).
3) The lawyer can then file a class action lawsuit against both Leandro AND Mercado Bitcoin as our funds were clearly used there without our knowledge or consent (in fact, we have direct quotes from Leandro saying that our coins were not being used at Mercado!!!)
4) After the trial which I have no doubt we would win, the lawyer could then seek to attach a lien to not only Leandro's personal assets but Mercado Bitcoin's assets as well!!
The time to sit in the dark worrying and waiting without any updates or payment from Leandro is over - it is time for us to take action!Please, if someone in Brazil can just start the ball rolling by having a consultation with a lawyer, I have no doubt we will have much better chances of recovering our money! For God's sake he is operating the biggest Bitcoin exchange in Brazil with impunity while he ripped people off millions of dollars!!
