What are you paying for? You are essentially donating to a fund for legal action. We’ve already raised the full amount needed to pay the lawyer to research, and proceed to the next step. Everyone has already put in ~$100 (actually £85), and rather than close the group when we reached the target for the…

Just over a week ago, I told everyone that for all the psuedo-accountability I was presenting, in the end it just came down to having to trust me. Well I’m working on changing that this week, so things won’t have to rely on just trust anymore. Accounting Already we have a volunteer bookkeeper, yyy. A…

Good news. We’ve now hit the target of $30k. It’s an amazing job in under a week. I think above all it shows how important this is to a lot of people. We have: £22,598,56 in card takings, and £768.45 paid to me on Paypal. £23,3367.01 in total. Sekido’s invoice has arrived, and there’s no…

Tomorrow we’ll be opening the Forum. This is the area where all the legal information provided by our lawyer will be shared.

We have agreed payment terms with our layer. I have now removed the emails sent between us. This is effectively what you’re paying for and if you want to see them before contributing, please email me. They are available on the forum.

Bitcoin Builder has engaged a lawyer that is looking at establishing a Creditors Committee. This is a committee that can to some limited degree call the Trustee to account. They cannot dictate terms, but they can make their feelings clear to him, and suggest actions, and if necessary call him to the Tokyo court to…
