I'm wondering if anyone has heard back from IW on releasing their funds yet. I had in my mind June 1st but unfortunately I reread the e-mail to see that it said July 1st. I was getting quite anxious, since I'm not sure if they're just going to steal from us or not. Also, I was wondering how their validation process is going to be carried out. Is the basic idea that whoever has laid a claim on a wallet that has no additional claims will get the contents? Because when a friend of a friend of Jesus was filling out the form she basically just put down her wallet ID and nothing more. I heard from her that there was an option for putting down a btctalk username and some other things but can't remember everything she said. Could it be possible that, even if one is the only person that laid a claim, one may not receive the contents in the end due to lack of identifying info (even though the claim went through just fine)? I seriously doubt this paranoid thought but the foafoJ keeps bugging me about it. Thoughts/personal experiences on this whole process thus far?

To be honest... I wouldn't hold your breath. So far the reacquisition of BTCs in other cases has not been successful. I mean if you don't have any identifying info what's stopping someone from providing some and claiming your wallet? He has ID, you don't. He gets BTCs. I imagine they're just going to keep delaying and delaying the payout date in hopes people will write off the BTCs as a loss. Hopefullly people realize what this is. A financial wakeup call. If you aren't the sole owner of your private key, you don't own anything.
