Two wallets, one of which contained exactly 1,000 BTC and the other was either 132.xxx BTC or 123.xxx BTC (honestly didn't remember which, but submitted the 123.xxx amount, of which I don't remember what the .xxx(xxxxx) was, thus rounded it down to 123 BTC), I didn't have have the wallet addresses, but the form at the time was designed to submit as much info as possible. The third wallet had .84(x) BTC (if I recall correctly) of which I did have the Bitcoin address, but that one supposedly had two other claims on it for some reason, thus assuming that's why it would take that one longer to process. The other two I assumed would take longer because they were both over the 50 BTC threshold, also assuming that they would be processed after IW is finished processing all the lesser claims.
First time this factual, usable information is brought to my attention (in a VERY large pile of ranting posts).

Please provide claim number, status and amount in your PM (or simpler, the wqllet key that contains all three information).

If your claim was not paid there must be a reason and your claim status tells you about it:
- multiple claims for the same wallet with different payout addresses
- large amount balance that requires identification before payout.
etc
Think about helping us determine that you are the rightful owner and provide at least your claim number, balance and claim status.

@BCB
What is your claim number and status ? (please PM me or Arsy).
Now I realize that we have a communication problem, Gage. I am not at trained psychiatrist prepared to deal with serious cases of paranoïa. When I started the IW topic I naively expected you to read my post. Instead it was just an opportunity for you to project your preconceived opinion about me and my colleagues: rest assured, I am not tyring to convince you otherwise nor to shut you up. Simply provide me via PM with the information that I need to sort out your (big) case.
The only PM I received from you so far is dated december 29, 2012, totally unrelated to IW.
As I've mentioned before, I have no idea what a wqllet key is. Taxing my memory, with InstaWallet all that was needed was a URL of which contained a Bitcoin address in your control, thus no need for any key. Besides, once funds were placed in a wallet at IW, the balance always showed zero, with funds navigating to some other wallet that was in IW's control, and no key in the world allow one to extract funds out.
The following is the first time I posted on the main claim thread:
I see this is going to be fun!
First off, I haven't a clue as to what the word 'key' is in reference to. I'm only aware of URL and Bitcoin address, of which I know for sure one of them, for the other two addresses weren't save, just the URL's via Chrome, and once clicked, I would then see my address. Of those two, I know the exact amount, but the other would only be a guess for, though I'm pretty sure I know the exact first three whole numbers before the decimal then ? digits. The account that I do know the URL and pretty sure I have the address, I don't know the exact coin amount. The other two I washed a couple times, but nixed doing to more after finding out the address were already obfuscated by IW during each exchange. A couple weeks ago, I couldn't even see who sent me coins and where I sent them via BlockChain, of which I thought was weird, but accepted it as being part of the process.
Now I read that it will be 90 days before we get our funds back, and that's if there's no other claims, and that's if it's not extended other 90 days. For that, I say thank you, and can I meet you guys in person so that I can suck all your dicks? Seriously, I want to suck your dicks. Please let me know where to meet you all. I promise no funny business just like I was assured less than two weeks ago that all in well in InstaWalletLand.
An issue was brought up then of which I was looking into but quit pursuing and quit worrying about my coins after being assure all was well. Just like we're all being assured that all is well over at BFLland. BULLSHIT!!!
What the fuck is really going on here? Fuck, another entity holding a massive amount of coins can't even decide the proper outcome of a well-written bet, yet awards and lets run less well-written bets. Ads are being displayed on this forum for products that don't exist. Mt. Gox lags when it's to their best interest. Christian devs... (don't ask me why I opted to hold my tongue on this one, but I did).
The only saving grace is that my mother fuckin' nest egg was all profit. So is 95% of all the barn wood I currently have in stock. Where would you like me to deliver it too for free, or would you guys enjoy it more if you steal it from me? I can easily start from scratch with nothing, and not feel any pain. But that's not the point.
What I have to do to be at peace with this situation is to currently accept it as a lost, yet hope for the best. Anything I get back would be considered a blessing. One thing for sure, after 90 days, mark, if this is not resolved, everybody associated with IW will have their names associated with the words scam, fraud, etc., for starters.
In closing, since your address supposedly is available online, I want one of you guys to state your address here on this forum. Since it's supposed to be the same address, you should have no problem provided such a request. If you don't, then there's something you're definitely hiding.
You have 24 hours to fulfill my simple request.

The following is the first time you acknowledged my posts on the claims thread:
Unignore
I see how the game is played now: Hack your own sites, claim money was stolen, claim to fill out a police report, ignore all requests from those who entrusted you with their assets, then call them trolls for requesting a simple number to set them at ease.
You sir, are one sick mother fucker!
Couldn't agree more...
All ease aside, the one hint is the lack of a police report number (and possibly them being one sick motherfuckers).
Ignore
13 days later after people stated requesting a police report, Boussac was kind enough to post proof in the Frence Section:
A link to a scan of a police report filed by Paymium has been posted in this thread:

naphto.
Looks real to me, but I don't see any comment or explanation from Boussac, which is pretty bad style IMO.
The following my Davout is what convinced me that all was well at IW:
I like IW, but something has changed recently and I can't put my finger on it.

Dear Bruno,
Instawallet has always worked like a shared wallet, nothing has ever changed in this respect.
The fact you used to see coins remain at the deposit address simply means that :
- there used to be less coin turnover,
- the cold storage was less used,
- any combination of the previous reasons.
Some stuff does change though, you used to get your transaction ID back immediately when sending coins, that's not the case anymore, sends are now asynchronously handled by a background worker. That's much more secure in terms of potential race conditions, much more robust in terms of infrastructure, much more maintenable (since now I can simply stop the worker, do some work on bitcoind and switch it back on).
The traffic also increases a lot, to give you an idea, our average weekly turnover is around 10kBTC in, and 10kBTC out, it recently peaked at around 50kBTC/week.
Your wallet has exactly the amount you expect to be available, you can't rely on blockchain.info to tell you how much is available in an account on a shared wallet.
This is how your balance is calculated :
Hope it's clearer
That's a fine explanation I can live with. Thanks, bud.

Because of a slow connection, this post took me over an hour to pen. I need to get back on the Road to Atlanta, for Bing and Hope is waiting on me.
I'm unable to provide further information requested by Boussac because it's on my old laptop. I won't be back home till early next week.
