It might be a year or more, but this prick will eventually resurface, probably broke, infected with an STD or three, and looking for a scam to perpetrate. You really can't hide forever in the world of the interwebz and when Ryan/Alex blows through the 3700 BTC ($1,470,000 some odd dollars worth!) he will return to his old haunts....
Then Karma with a capital K will likely come upon his sorry ass......
and yes, he got me for a few coins also.......
With maybe 1.5-2 million usd worth of bitCoins at today's prices
he could easily stay under the radar
Those btc will probably double or triple in value in the next 6
months so unfortunately he has stolen a substantial amount
and that's not even counting the garbage coins
The btc amount is shocking to be entrusted to a guy who even has
a past history of being a scammer/thief
I hope everyone gets refunded but we all know how hard that's going
to be, esp for people in other countries
Hopefully he gets what's coming to him
